Earth Day at 50 and Clean Water
50 years ago, someone had the idea that if we gathered together on a single day, we could show solidarity in our demands to protect and restore our environment, show strength in numbers, and gather comfort from being with like-minded people. Rivers were on fire, people were dying from pollution and everyone was being poisoned by the world around us.
Over the next decade, we passed laws that became the bedrock of environmental protection in this country. The Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, creation of the EPA – all of these happened, not as a result of Earth Day itself
Protecting Groundwater in Minnesota
Clean Water Action believes that everyone has a right to safe and affordable drinking water. To make this a reality, it is vital to put drinking water first. To do that it is important that elected and appointed officials at every level of government make decisions with drinking water in mind. That means they consider the downstream impacts on drinking water sources of agricultural, industrial, and every day activities and protect our drinking water sources.
