Description

For over 40 years, the Clean Water Act has ensured that Americans have clean water to drink and that our rivers are safe for outdoor recreation. Americans recreate in the water – swimming, paddling, surfing, boating, fishing – 4 BILLION times each year (source). Right now there’s an attempt by the EPA to significantly weaken the Clean Water Act and we need your voice to help protect the water quality in our nation’s rivers!
