Combatting the Lead Problem in Minnesota

Clean Water Action Minnesota is working to advocate for funding and programs to improve lead remediation efforts at all levels. This includes education, advocacy, and community powerbuilding. We are committed to fighting for lead abatement and removal until the problem has been completely eliminated.

Data Centers in Minnesota

Data centers are rapidly expanding across the country, but these facilities require millions of gallons of water each year for cooling, as well as significant amounts of electricity to operate. Clean Water Action partners with impacted communities and coalition allies in Minnesota to raise awareness and advance innovative policies that safeguard our water and public health.

Reducing Electronic Waste in Minnesota

When discarded electronics end up in landfills or informal recycling sites, they break down and release toxic chemicals that contaminate our soil and water. The best solution is to prevent that electronic waste (or e-waste) in the first place.
