EPA's Lisa Jackson on protecting ALL our waters!

The Senate is pulling out the dictionaries for a debate over our water.  The question they have to answer is whether "ALL" means "everything" or whether it means "only things that aren't inconvenient". Seriously, we're not kidding.  Polluting interests continue to oppose the Administration’s efforts to clarify that ALL bodies of water are protected by the Clean Water Act. Now they’re forcing a vote in the U.S. Senate.

Find out what the amendment to H.R. 2354 means. Tell your Senators:  Don't let December become a polluter free-for-all.  Keep anti-environmental amendments and riders off of year-end bills.

The law that is supposed to protect us from the health effects caused by toxic chemicals is not working.

The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) does not prevent us from being exposed, every day, to chemicals like formaldehyde, lead, and asbestos. These are cancer-causing chemicals and also result in reproductive problems and many other diseases.
