Clean Water Action is working to protect sensitive areas like parks and forests, prevent roll back of safeguards and transition Pennsylvania to a renewable energy future.

Reducing Waste in Pennsylvania Communities

Plastic pollution affects everyone by reducing our quality of life, blighting our neighborhoods, and contributing to water pollution and the degradation of our planet.
