PBDEs - flame retardants that are rapidly accumulating in our bodies and the Great Lakes - are toxic to animals and may threaten our own health. HB 4465 would phase-out deca-BDE, the only remaining commercial polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) not yet banned in Michigan, in certain products for which effective, safer, affordable alternatives are already in use.
To protect Michigan's children, our firefighters, and the Great Lakes, Michigan needs to pass HB 4465 immediately. Please e-mail your representative today!

Canada and other states continue to flood Michigan with their garbage because it's dirt cheap to dump here. In 2005, 6.2 million tons of Canadian and out-of-state trash were dumped in Michigan!
That's 100,000 tons more than in 2004. Nearly one-third of all the garbage in our landfills comes from outside Michigan and it comes here for two simple reasons:
You can help fight the trashing of our beautiful state! Write your State Senator and Representative today and urge them to stop the flood of trash into Michigan.

Approximately 1 million gallons of untreated waste is discharged from Kent County's failing septic systems every day. While there are a variety of reasons why residents don't properly maintain their septic systems there is one resounding reason why we should: untreated waste doesn't obey property boundaries!
Taking the Next Steps Toward Michigan's Clean Energy Future
On September 18th, Michigan’s legislature passed an energy package that makes slight headway down the path to bringing clean, renewable energy to the state. Now that the first step has been taken, Clean Water Action will keep pressure on decision-makers to strengthen Michigan’s energy policy to make us a national leader in renewable energy manufacturing. Together, we can make sure that the momentum is not slowed in the wake of the energy package’s passage.
Diesel engines are the workhorses of our economy, found in everything from ships and trains to school and city buses, construction and agricultural vehicles, long-haul trucks and many other vehicles that keep our economy humming. However, the black exhaust that pours out of diesel vehicles is a silent killer, contributing to 21,000 early deaths in the United States each year.
