SHC seeks to foster communities that have clean air to breathe, clean water

charged with placing emphasis on the Board-designated area of national
concern of water quality protection.  In 2007 SHC has identified strategic
opportunities and developed action objectives in the following issue areas:
Stopping Sewage Pollution ;  Drinking Water Source Protection ;  Protecting
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.

In our work we coordinate with the Water Sentinels Program, the
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.
