More than two months ago President Obama nominated Gina McCarthy, a
dedicated public servant with nearly three decades of experience, to be
EPA Administrator. We’re still waiting for the Senate to confirm her.
You can make sure she gets a vote, and that your Senators vote YES, by
telling your Senators “I stand with Gina!” Click here to tell your Senators!
While California is considering many good bills to address fracking, one bill threatens to codify weak industry friendly regulations – AB 7 (Wieckowski). Among its many problems, AB 7 was written in consultation with the oil industry – the very group it’s meant to regulate, and has no support from environmental and health groups.
Help us stop AB 7 today! Click here to send a message to your elected officials
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is one of our most important environmental laws because it empowers the public to be involved in decisions regarding local projects that can impact our communities’ environment and wellbeing. However, 20% of Californians are left out of these decisions because they speak little or no English. Your action today in support of AB 543 (Campos) will help to correct this injustice.
Together we made hundreds of calls and letters to legislators in opposition to the clean energy rollbacks in Senate Bill 1138. We need you again! Click here to take action.
Instead of supporting environmentally damaging large-scale hydropower in Canada, and helping Northeast Utilities build a transmission line, let's support the entrepreneurs and small businesses that are building clean energy here in New England!
Right now many important wetlands and streams – the drinking water sources for nearly 117 million Americans - are vulnerable to pollution and destruction. Join your neighbors and the thousands of Clean Water Action members today and tell the President to take action now to protect all our nation’s waters.
The President committed to fixing this problem and, last year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) drafted new rules to protect these vital bodies of water.
There are more than 600 coal-fired power plants in the US and they account for more than 50% of the toxic pollution, including heavy metals like arsenic, lead, and mercury, in our water. This pollution affects everyone and it’s time to do something about it. You can make the difference – send a message to the President today!
Thankfully the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will soon propose new policies to require coal-fired power plants to limit the amount of toxic pollutants they dump in our water. These policies are more than thirty years overdue. Unfortunately the coal industry and power companies are already trying to block them. We need you to take action - Urge President Obama to move forward with plans for strong protections from toxic coal plant wastewater by sending him a letter today!
Childhood cancer, infertility, learning and developmental disabilities
are rising at alarming rates. Studies consistently show links between
toxic chemicals used in everyday consumer products and many of these
negative health impacts. We can avoid these chemicals, but we need to be
able to make informed decisions about the products we use.
Clean energy in Connecticut is under attack. Northeast Utilities is
pressuring DEEP and our legislature to water down Connecticut's clean
energy commitments. Instead of supporting clean energy like wind and
solar in this region it will send Connecticut dollars and jobs to
Canada. Our legislators need to hear from you today to stop this
corporate giveaway to Northeast Utilities and Hydro-Quebec.
We need you today! Send a letter of support for a new standard that will prevent exposure to toxic chemicals that make fires more deadly and are linked to serious long term impacts on public health and the environment.
