Food waste is a significant problem for the environment and for food access. Even though 40 percent of our food goes to waste, the problem of food insecurity is particularly pronounced in the District of Columbia where 13.2% of all households were food insecure from 2013 – 2015.

Clean Water Action is working with our allies to successfully help protect the Chesapeake Bay, open space, farmland, and historic sites before state senate and house elections in the fall. In addition to focusing on ensuring green infrastructure funding and reducing plastic pollution, here are some of the organization’s top priorities: Stormwater Local Assistance Fund (SLAF), Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), and Reducing Plastic Pollution.

"Being at Clean Water for almost a year has been one of the best working experiences I have ever had in my career. Bob Wendelgass, Clean Water’s President and CEO and Michael Bochynski, DC's State Director, have inspired me and supported me in ways I could have never imagined. I love my work as an eco-feminist in Washington, DC and it has been very rewarding as I work on climate change issues in disfavored communities for the Anacostia Parks and Community Collaborative.”
