I pledge to stand up for my right to clean water!
Take the Pledge854 people took the pledge
Our nation's clean water laws are experiencing an unprecedented assault-- which is why we need you to stand up for your right to clean water.
In just the past two years, polluter-friendly members of Congress voted to weaken the Clean Water Act over 35 times. We need to make sure that these members here loud and clear that the American people will not allow our waterways to once again become industrial waste dumps.
Think for a moment about what clean water means to you. A glass of cool water on a summer day, growing a garden, family fishing trips, putting your children in the bath — clean water is essential to our way of life. Isn't that worth fighting for?
It took a movement to bring about the Clean Water Act- now we now need a movement to save it.
By signing the pledge, you agree to:
1) Hold your elected officials as well as state and federal environmental agencies accountable for decisions that allow industry to pollute our water. (We will make this easy for you to do!)
2) Save water by using electricity wisely. It requires more water to generate the electricity that powers our home, than the amount we use in our homes for everyday tasks—washing dishes and clothes, showering, flushing toilets, and watering lawns and gardens.*
3) Educate your friends about these issues. A movement is built one person at a time!

I agree....All the talk is about energy consumption but what would happen if we ran out of clean water?
the best part is, we can meet our energy needs AND have clean water. We put a man on the moon after all. We can meet this challenge but we, the people have to lead, and the leader will have to follow!
No matter who wins the elections, we will need to continue to build the movement to protect America's waterways. Are you with me?
Yes!
Why do we STILL have to fight for CLEAN WATER???
Because we have Republicans! That's easy!
Water is very important to all creatures, especially all LIVING THINGS, cuz without WATER, no survival.
But it cost more money to have a clean environment. They act like they don;t care what's left for there grandchildren. As long as they make the big bucks, B.S.
Craig, we need to make them care by showing we care and that we aren't going anywhere!
clean water...........do u really believe that there is truly such a thing as clean & pure water. our current ways while it may seem just about environmentalism and conservation aren't the reasons to focus on these issues. do u know how many health problems and medical conditions would disappear within this generation & possibly help us live longer? who wants to be unhealthy? I don't know about u but if I had the choice I'd choose to promote practices that encourage and allow me to live a healthier lifestyle.
don't like dirty water.
