The Clean Water Campaign is a statewide effort to educate outdoor enthusiasts about Delaware’s water quality and to secure support for dedicated funding because clean water is critical to our economy, environment, wildlife, food source, and public health.

Recently the chemical industry got exactly what it wanted—again. A new Senate bill was introduced that would not only fail to protect us from dangerous chemicals but also restrain state governments from taking action. Together, we can fight back against business as usual. We must reject the chemical industry’s reprehensible approach and strengthen protections against toxic chemicals. Chemical companies have spent millions lobbying for a free pass to continue putting Americans at risk from chemicals like flame retardants, formaldehyde in flooring, asbestos in dozens of products, and thousands of other chemicals that contaminate our air, water, food, and everyday products. We need you to voice your opposition now to a proposed chemical policy bill introduced by Senators David Vitter and Tom Udall that would leave dangerous holes in our toxic chemical laws.

A lease agreement is proposed between Verizon Wireless and Big Bear City Community Services District, (BBCCSD), to erect the tower on public land adjacent to our residential neighborhood. We believe the installation of the cell tower is inconsistent with the rural character of the surrounding neighborhood. Cell phone towers expose the public to involuntary, chronic, cumulative Radio Frequency Radiation (RFR). These towers emit radio frequencies (RF), a form of electromagnetic radiation (EMR), for a distance of up to 2 ½ miles. Studies have shown that even at low levels of this radiation, there is evidence of damage to cell tissue and DNA, and it has been linked to brain tumors, cancer, suppressed immune function, depression, miscarriage, Alzheimer’s disease, and numerous other serious illnesses. At increased risk are children, pregnant women and the elderly. Wildlife, pets and livestock are also at risk from RF and EMF radiation.

Protecting the Ogallala aquifer. Fracking in the NW corner of Nebraska will put the entire state at risk as the water flows from the Northwest to the southeast of the state. The water in the state flows at a rate of 6mph potential for contamination from one end to the other in three days.

Western Environmental Law Center is a nonprofit, public-interest environmental law firm. Our expert attorneys are ready to use the full power of the law to stop the Bureau of Land Management from prioritizing corporate income over the health of our environment and communities.

The Florida Center for Investigative Reporting recently reported that employees and volunteers at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection have been directed not to use the words "climate change," "global warming," or “sea level rise.” This news has drawn public outrage across the country. Instead of denying the urgency of climate change, Governor Scott should be leading the charge in renewable energy sources like solar. Please ask the Governor to acknowledge human-caused climate change and work to stop it!

Despite the clear danger our communities face from storms, flooding, and rising sea level caused by climate change, recent reports reveal that many government officials in Florida are no longer allowed to say the term "climate change." This misguided attempt to politically censor the very people in charge of making policies that will reduce carbon pollution and help our communities adapt to our changing climate isn't just outrageous—it's dangerous.

1. The 2014 national climate assessment for the US found an “imminent threat of increased inland flooding” in Florida due to climate change and called the state “uniquely vulnerable to sea level rise.” 2. Officials with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the agency in charge of setting conservation policy and enforcing environmental laws in the state, issued directives in 2011 barring thousands of employees from using the phrases “climate change” and “global warming.” 3. A report ties the alleged policy, which is described as “unwritten”, to the election of Republican governor Rick Scott and his appointment of a new department director that year. Scott, who was re-elected last November, has declined to say whether he believes in climate change caused by human activity. 4. According to employees’ accounts, the ban left damaging holes in everything from educational material published by the agency to training programs to annual reports on the environment that could be used to set energy and business policy.

The president vetoed legislation approving the Keystone XL pipeline, but the issue is far from settled. In a recent op-ed, House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell promised that they’re “just getting started.” We don't need another round of fights over an environmentally dangerous project. Instead, we need to turn our attention to projects that create good-paying jobs for the middle class and position us for long-term benefits. The far right has shown a willingness to rehash the same fights again and again. And you don’t have to look any further than the dozens of votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act to see it. Sign our petition and tell congressional leaders that it’s time to move on from this fight.

It's about the current threat to our ecosystem. The Oil & Coal Trains are hauling highly volatile crude oil in transport cars that have been deemed to be in unsafe condition. With the combination of higher volume of oil & crude along with sub-standard condition cars it is a ticking time bomb. Uncovered coal trains are contaminating the air and areas surrounding the railroads. The surrounding communities where the railroads travel do not have resources to respond to a derailment of this magnitude.

Wolves are necessary to keep balance in our wild life!
