Help protect all of America's waters.
Ask the administration to change course on a new policy that puts U.S.
waters at risk.
Tomorrow is the last day to make your voice heard on this critical
policy. Click here to take action now!
Recent decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court and federal agencies have
created confusion about whether certain waters will remain protected by
the Clean Water Act – the nation's most important law limiting water
pollution.
The Bush administration is now taking public comment on a policy that
would jeopardize thousands of streams and wetlands. Tomorrow is the
deadline to weigh in!
Click here before time runs out to urge the Bush administration to change
course and protect all waters from destruction and pollution.
Under review is an Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corps of
Engineers policy that leaves many waters, including wetlands and
tributary streams, without protection and even open for destruction.
If you care about clean water for drinking, swimming, fish and wildlife,
now is the time to ACT!
The policy affects 20 million acres of "isolated" wetlands and nearly 2
million miles of streams that do not flow year-round. Even in the case of
water bodies that provide drinking water, the guidance as written does
not provide protection.
Please, write a comment to the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers urging
them to substantially revise their policy. Help us send a message to the
administration that ALL of America's lakes, streams, creeks, rivers, and
wetlands deserve protection!w to make a secure online donation to help
support our efforts to protect our clean water, clea
n air, endangered species and wild places.
