Protecting Northern Colorado from Uranium Mining
From February-April, Clean Water Action's community outreach staff educated members in Ft. Collins about what they could do to help protect northern Colorado from uranium mining.

Environmental Success in the Colorado Legislature!

Colorado Currents|Online, Summer 2009

Three important environmental bills have successfully passed through the Colorado legislature that will help protect Colorado’s landscapes, create jobs, and jumpstart transit funding.

Colorado Faster

The "Colorado Faster" bill was passed by the legislature and signed by Governor Ritter. This bill will provide much-needed new funding for Colorado’s transportation infrastructure that will include $5 million per year to be allocated to the State Transit and Rail Fund for grants to local governments for local transit projects. Colorado Faster will also help save or create 10,000 jobs in the transportation industry.

Clean Water Restoration Act and Hard Rock Mining Act opportunities for our federal legislators!

Colorado Currents|Online, Summer 2009

Clean Water Action is leading the charge to encourage Colorado’s Congressional delegation to co-sponsor and support two important federal bills this year in Congress.

Clean Water Restoration Act

Thousands of miles of Colorado streams and rivers are currently at risk of losing protections. By supporting the Clean Water Restoration Act, our Congressional leaders can help put us back on the path toward protecting all of our drinking water, lakes, rivers and streams. The Clean Water Restoration Act was recently introduced into the U.S. Senate and we hope a companion bill will be introduced this summer.

Turning Up the Heat: Exposing the manufacturers' lackluster mercury thermostat collection program

Abstract: 

Turning Up the Heat exposes the dismal results of the manufacturers’
voluntary mercury thermostat collection program. The Thermostat
Recycling Corporation (TRC) has collected less than 5% of the
approximately 100 tons of mercury from mercury thermostats
removed from service in the last decade. The collection program in
Rhode Island is below the national average for preventing mercury
pollution from thermostats and far behind the national leaders. The
report recommends that states adopt strong laws, with financial
incentives and performance standards for recycling mercury thermostats,
to drastically improve the TRC program and prevent mercury pollution.

Safer Technology: The Only Solution When Security Fails

Eight years after September 11th, sobering warnings remain unheeded regarding the vulnerability of U.S. chemical plants to terrorist attacks. Journalists across the country have repeatedly made their way into more than 80 chemical plants demonstrating the ease with which fence-line security can be penetrated. As President Obama said in 2006, "these plants are stationary weapons of mass destruction spread all across the country."

The potential for fatalities and economic disruption from an attack on one of these plants is staggering. A 2001 U.S. Army Surgeon General study estimated that in densely populated areas 900,000 to 2.4 million people could be killed or injured in a terrorist attack on a U.S. chemical plant in a densely populated area.
