Protect Pennsylvania's Water from Fracking Waste! [1]

One simple but important standard for our rivers is missing from state protections – a limit to how much salt can be put into streams. For a freshwater state like Pennsylvania, you would think we would already have a limit on salt! Unfortunately, wastewater produced from gas drilling contains huge amounts of salt, it’s often several times saltier than seawater. We have found over 10 million pounds of salt being dumped each month from plants discharging oil and gas wastewater into our rivers. It’s time we protected our rivers – you can help!

Protect Loyalsock State Forest Today [10]

Here’s a fact: Gas drilling operations and pristine forests don’t go together. Help us protect the Loyalsock State Forest from drilling!
 [11]
Thanks to their preservation, Pennsylvania state forests like Loyalsock are recreational gems. The Loyalsock State Forest consists of more than 100,000 acres of pristine wilderness. All of that is being threatened as Loyalsock is considered as a site for Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling. Allowing drilling to occur in Loyalsock would fragment the forest, leaving miles of clearings for new roads, pipelines and drill pads.  

Protect Loyalsock - click here to send a message to the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources today! [12]

End Power Plant Water Pollution [22]

Brayton Point Coal Plant - MAThe Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has just proposed long-overdue power plant pollution standards to limit the amount of toxic metals and other chemicals that can be dumped in our water. Unfortunately the coal industry is already trying to block them.

Tell EPA to require power plants to clean up all of their pollution, not just some of it - send your comments today! [23]
