Tell the EPA to protect our drinking water
Two years ago, the US Environmental Protection Agency announced new rules designed to protect our drinking water from cancer-causing "forever chemicals." Now, under the Trump administration, the agency wants to illegally and foolishly reverse those rules, putting our families' and communities' health in jeopardy. Speak up by July 20: Tell the EPA to do its job and protect us against environmental toxins by keeping these rules in place!
Tell your senators: Vote YES on Parking Lot Reform & Modernization Act
NC is growing rapidly, but many of our rules haven’t kept pace with the needs of our communities. A YES vote means less flooding, improved water quality, lower housing and development costs, and more vibrant main streets across North Carolina. This bill is coming to a full Senate vote soon: Tell your state senator to vote YES on the parking lot bill!
Protect our beaches from damaging hardened structures
Tell state lawmakers NOW to oppose two bad bills that would destroy the unique landscape of North Carolina’s beautiful coastline. The legislation would weaken longstanding coastal protections and expand the use of hardened structures such as seawalls, sheet pile walls, and terminal groins. Speak up now! Use this form from our friends at the NC Conservation Network to tell your state senator to oppose these bills.
Don’t let Duke Energy pull another fast one on us!
Tell NC lawmakers to reject Duke Energy proposals this year and support clean energy. Ask your legislator to oppose any attempts by Duke Energy and its allies to raise our bills, increase their profits or slow down the adoption of clean energy. Send your message here with our Action Alert.
