Getting Washington Off Oil

Fighting Global Warming

Too much of our energy comes from dirty sources that harm our environment. But by tapping the power of the sun and wind, and using less energy in the first place, we can repower our lives with clean energy that doesn’t pollute and never runs out.

Defending Washington's Waters

Short-sighted legal decisions have left Puget Sound, the Columbia River and hundreds of acres of wetlands vulnerable to pollution and development. Now, polluters’ allies in Congress are trying to block the EPA from restoring vital safeguards. To protect Puget Sound and the rivers that feed it, we need to show massive public support for clean water.
