Public Participation for Pollution Protection
This year, we’re celebrating Clean Water Action’s 50th birthday and the 50th anniversary of the Clean Water Act - our nation’s bedrock environmental law passed in 1972 with the help of our founder David Zwick. This law ensures that our rivers, streams, lakes and other surface waters are protected.
Since then, we’ve made vast improvements in many of our waterways, but we still have a long way to go to ensure our water is swimmable, fishable and drinkable. Public participation is at the heart of the Clean Water Act. It is key to ensuring communities have a chance to speak out against polluting
Dear REI: Hiking & PFAS Chemicals Don't Belong Together

Hi! I’m A Dog Who Wants the Humans at REI to Ban PFAS
Hello!!!!
I am SO EXCITED to meet you! Wait, don’t run away! I’m not dangerous! I want to talk to you about something that IS dangerous: toxic PFAS in my humans’ clothes!
My humans take me on lots of adventures! We go on hikes, camping trips, and beach walks together. They don’t like to get wet, so they have jackets and boots to keep them dry that they bought at their local REI store. (One time, they tried to make *me* wear a jacket and boots too. I nearly died!! My feet disappeared, so I panicked and dragged my legs around until my humans panicked too and called the vet. They don’t make me
