🏳️‍🌈 Happy ! Clean Water Action had lots of laughs and splashes at Middletown, CT Pride last weekend. Check out photos of our very own New England Zero Waste Organizer Amber Schmidt who was on site helping reduce single-use plastic water bottle trash!

Clean Water Action's ReThink Disposable program works to stop trash before it starts by replacing single-use with reusables! At the event, we provided a water filling station to avoid all those throaway plastic bottles that can sometimes pile up at events. 💧

Stay tuned for more updates as Amber and her team in CT will be providing free, cold, filtered ZERO WASTE water at local events all summer so everyone can stay hydrated AND stop plastic trash from harming our waterways, climate and communities. 🌍

Only ONE WEEK remains to tell EPA: don’t let coal-fired power plants dump more toxic pollution into our waterways.

Coal plant wastewater contains dangerous pollutants like arsenic, mercury, and lead that threaten drinking water, aquatic life, and public health. EPA is trying to weaken wastewater treatment requirements and allow more of these toxic pollutants into our rivers, lakes, and streams.

Communities already overburdened by pollution will pay the price if these rollbacks move forward.

Take action today and tell EPA to protect our waterways from toxic coal plant pollution. Stop giveaways to polluters and protect clean water for everyone.

Our Philadelphia Field Canvass, and the rest of the Philadelphia office was hard at work helping candidate Rep. Rabb win his primary race. They spent countless hours knocking on doors and engaging with our members to elect a candidate that will continue to fight for a strong climate agenda. Pictured here are a few folks from the Philadelphia office, including the Field Canvass folks that helped get this work done. Great work all!

Check out photos from our recent Spring for Water Benefit Bash in Texas! Held at the Gallery at Chez Zee American Bistro in Austin, the event featured special guest speaker, live music, hors d'oeuvres, libations and a live and silent auction.

Many thanks to our special guest speaker Schuyler Wight, a West Texas rancher who has been directly affected by poorly-managed fossil fuel infrastructure, and musical guest, Rob Richardson of The Blues Specialists!

Thank you to everyone who supported this event to benefit Clean Water Action and Clean Water Fund campaigns to protect families from toxic chemicals, empower environmental justice communities, support a just transition to clean energy, and improve water and air quality for all residents of Texas.

Flowers bring beauty and grace to our lives. 🌸💧

This Water a Flower Day, Julie Wedge reflects on the joy of slowing down, watering our plants, and appreciating the beauty growing around us through every season.

“At Clean Water Fund, we believe water is life. I believe flowers share hope.”

Whether you live in a house with a garden or a 3rd floor studio with “seemingly no light,” flowers can grow anywhere. And sometimes, taking a moment to “stop and smell the roses” is exactly what we need.
