Water Quality in Rural Communities; Protecting Wildlife and Humans from
Chemicals which Damage Reproduction ; Mountain Top Removal/Coal Mining;
and Water Privatization that Damages the Environment. SHC has
established project teams to advance these objectives and funds projects in
each area.

Environmental Quality Strategy Team and its issue committees, the
Partnerships Program, and other Club entities and the other CICs. We are
engaging a growing list of Chapters and Groups in SHC-funded projects.
