Right to Breathe
Clean air should be a fundamental right. Every year, many Americans young and old get sick because of air pollution. Thousands die. But our lungs don’t have to be the dumping ground for dirty industries.

- Stop Congress's All Out Assault on Our Air, Water, Public Health
[U.S. Residents Only] H.R. 1 and its many anti-environmental amendments represent the broadest assault on our clean air, clean water, public health, wildlife and wild land protections in recent memory.
- Tell Congress to Stand Strong on Mercury Protection
[U.S. Residents Only] Take Action! Tell your representative to reject an outrageous attempt to exempt cement plants, one of the dirtiest industries in America, from controlling their toxic pollution. We have a right to breathe, and our representatives should stand up for it.
- A Thank You for the Spruce No. 1 Mine Veto
The EPA's decision to veto the water pollution permit for the Spruce No. 1 Mine project in West Virginia was historic and significant. Please take a moment to thank Administrator Jackson for doing the right thing.
- Speak Out Against the Loss of Protections for Wolves
Take Action! Legislation was introduced in Congress that would strip away federal Endangered Species Act protections from the wolves of the northern Rockies. Loss of protections will allow hunts to resume, and threaten the very survival of the wolves.
