Keep Coal Ash Out of the Transportation Bill

Shirley Hao — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:57:59 +0000

Take Action! Urge your senators to reject any amendments to the transportation bill that gut federal coal ash protections. The bill is meant to ensure safe roads, safe highways and safe communities. Polluting it with amendments that will poison our communities is unfair to millions of Americans living near these coal ash sites.

Protect The Fragile Arctic Ocean

Take Action! We’re only months away from dangerous and destructive oil exploration in America’s Arctic Ocean. Shell Oil’s ships are steaming towards the remote and fragile waters of Alaska’s northern coast. These waters are home to threatened polar bears, endangered bowhead whales, walrus, seals, and birds that range through every state in the Union.

Land Grab Bill Threatens America's Rainforest

Shirley Hao — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 18:43:09 +0000

Take Action! Congress is considering the fate of many of the finest stands of coastal temperate rainforest in Alaska’s Tongass National Forest—considered to be the crown jewel of the U.S. National Forest system. Don’t let this corporate earmark legislation irreversibly harm the national treasure that is the Tongass. Join with us and urge the Obama administration to steadfastly oppose the legislation!

Keep Up The Fight To Stop Mountaintop Removal Mining

Shirley Hao — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 16:54:35 +0000

Take Action! Siding with the coal industry, a federal court has overturned the EPA’s veto of one of the most disastrous and destructive mountaintop removal mines in U.S. history, the Spruce No. 1 Mine in West Virginia. This ruling was a heartbreaking setback, but it doesn’t mean defeat—as long as the Obama Administration keeps standing behind EPA and the Clean Water Act. That’s why the White House needs to hear from you.

Stop Industrial Carbon Pollution

Shirley Hao — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 18:54:50 +0000

Take Action! The Environmental Protection Agency has issued a draft of precedent-setting standards under the Clean Air Act to curb industrial carbon pollution from new power plants. It is vital that we encourage the administration to keep doing the right thing. Contact EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson and urge the agency to finalize strong standards to curb industrial carbon pollution!

Save the Delaware from Dirty Transmission Lines

Shirley Hao — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 17:41:54 +0000

Take Action! The Delaware River, Appalachian Trail, and Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area are all threatened by the Susquehanna-Roseland 500kv transmission line. Towers nearly 200 feet high would pockmark our national park lands so that this project can bring dirty coal-fired electricity to New York City.

It’s Time to Crack Down on Water Pollution in Florida!

Shirley Hao — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 19:17:06 +0000

Take Action! Florida’s water pollution is a national disgrace and that requires a national response. Tell President Obama that Florida’s state plan to clean up water pollution allows more toxic algae-infested waterways and that a federal solution is required.

Tell The White House To Prevent Dirty Waters By Protecting All Waters Now

Shirley Hao — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:56:44 +0000

Take Action! No matter our political views, we all need clean water to live. And since 1972, the bipartisan Clean Water Act has protected our nation’s lakes, rivers, streams, and wetlands from unregulated pollution and destruction. Please let the White House know you support efforts to make sure all "waters of the United States" remain protected by the Clean Water Act, as they have been for decades.

Keep Coal Ash Out Of Our Waters!

Shirley Hao — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 16:27:24 +0000

Take Action! It's no mystery: coal ash is a dangerous toxic waste that poisons drinking water supplies all over the country. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed H.R. 2273, a bill that would block the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s attempt to adopt the first ever federal regulation for coal ash disposal. Now, the newest threat is in the U.S. Senate.

Is The Air Clean Enough For You And Your Family?

Shirley Hao — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 18:29:05 +0000

Take Action! A large majority of Americans want and expect the EPA to protect them from dirty air. They are saying that everybody has a right to breathe clean air. Will you ask your members of Congress to join us in making the Clean Air Promise?
