Building a greener future

Repowering America with clean energy.

When President Obama extended tough new auto emissions standards, he was building on a foundation laid by our nationwide efforts. In recent years, our staff and members helped convince 14 states to adopt Clean Cars programs. Now, thanks to our success and the president’s bold action, by 2020 we’ll reduce our oil consumption by 1.4 million barrels per day — nearly as much as we import today from Saudi Arabia — and dramatically reduce global warming pollution.

Keeping our forests wild.

From California’s Sequoia to Virginia’s George Washington, millions of acres of our national forests are still untouched by logging, mining and drilling, despite Bush administration efforts to open them to industry. We helped win the original Roadless Area Conservation Rule and we’ve fought state-by-state and here in Washington, D.C., to defend our forests and keep them wild for generations to come.

Safer, healthier waters.

From the Chesapeake Bay to Puget Sound, we’re working to restore all of America’s waters to health. Our staff and members have won new rules to protect the Bay, stopped BP and others from dumping more toxic pollution into the Great Lakes, and won dozens of new safeguards to preserve ocean wildlife.

Contact: Clean Water Advocate Piper Crowell.




Take action

Please tell President Obama to abandon his plans to expand oil drilling and instead to permanently protect America’s shores from another disaster.
