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. The proposed nearby uranium mines by the Canadian company, Powertech, are still moving forward and are expected to apply for permits in the summer of 2009.

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.

Improve the quality of our state's most valuable economic and natural resource

Candidate Education Chart: Invasive Species

Source: University of Notre Dame's Center for Aquatic Conservation

Located in the center of the planet's greatest freshwater resource, Michigan has a unique role as steward and caretaker of the majestic Great Lakes. They contain almost 20 percent of the world's fresh surface water, and Michigan is the only state entirely within their basin. The rivers, streams, ponds and groundwater that are the Lakes' lifeblood are also the backbone of the Michigan economy, essential to the health of its ecosystems and vital to our very identity as Michiganders. Unfortunately, our water resources are at continuing risk.

"Pure Michigan" at risk due to budget cuts at DNRE

Candidate Education Chart: DNRE spending

Michigan sells its natural beauty to the rest of the country through its "Pure Michigan" tourism campaign. Michigan has a long history of environmental and conservation innovation and leadership. Unfortunately, in recent years, that dedication has weakened, and investment has faded.

Clean energy means Michigan jobs

Michigan's Clean Energy Capacity 2010
Investing in Michigan-made clean energy will inject prosperity into our economy and stimulate
new job growth throughout the state. Global demand for clean energy products is skyrocketing. By positioning ourselves as leaders in advanced-battery technology, solar component manufacturing and wind turbine production, Michigan businesses will cultivate global markets.

In Michigan, we import 100% of our coal, 100% of our uranium, 97% of our petroleum and 80% of our natural gas. This amounts to more than $26 billion being permanently shipped out of the Michigan economy annually.1 Homegrown clean energy ventures will produce jobs here in Michigan and keep that money circulating locally.

Protecting Michigan children's health and growing our economy through green chemistry

Michigan is only as strong as its next generation. That's why Michigan legislators must be forceful advocates for the health and safety of children, especially children in economically disadvantaged areas who are typically exposed to higher levels of pollutants.

Childhood Asthma Prevalence (ages 0–17)

Candidate Education Chart: Childhood Asthma Prevalence

This can be accomplished through laws limiting chemicals and pollutants linked to afflictions like childhood asthma, obesity, autism, learning disabilities and cancers.

Many of our laws and protections, however, are outdated, ineffective and have not kept pace with a new generation of scientific and health research.
