Stand With Gina for EPA

GinaMcCarthy-th.jpgMore 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!

Stop AB 7 Today!

Stop AB 7!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

Make the CEQA Work for All Californians

CWARoundButtonBlueTakeAction.pngThe 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.

Help Fight Clean Energy Rollbacks

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!

Tell the President: Let the EPA Protect Streams and Wetlands

wetlands1 - smaller.JPGRight 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.

CWARoundButtonBlueActNowforCleanWater.pngThe President committed to fixing this problem and, last year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) drafted new rules to protect these vital bodies of water.

Protect Our Water From Power Plant Pollution!

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! 

PPP email image.jpgThankfully 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!

Stop SB 799

Maryland should focus on building a sustainable economy through waste reduction, re-use, refurbishment, recycling and composting.  This would save money, create local jobs and revenues, strengthen communities, make our economy more resilient and efficient, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save energy and material resources, reduce air, land and water pollution, and protect public health.  Instead, our legislators are considering a bill encourage municpalities to burn their trash. Help us stop it today!

We Need to Know More About the Chemicals in our Products!

chemistryflask_DainHubleyChildhood 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.

Tell your State Legislators to give your family important information about toxic exposure by ensuring the Chemical of High Concern is voted on and passed this year.

Stop the Attacks on Clean Energy Today!

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. 

You can make the difference - take action today!
