Clean Water Action coordinates the Connecticut Climate Coalition, a coalition of more than 90 health, faith, business, and environmental organizations.

The debate over the science on global warming has shifted to a debate about how best to address the problem. Since 2002 Clean Water Action and Connecticut Climate Coalition supporters have been working to demonstrate public support to make progress at the state level a reality.

In 2004 we worked to pass global warming goals legislation in the spring of 2004. The legislation adopted the New England Governors pollution reduction goals of cutting pollution to 10% below 1990 levels by the year 2020 and 80% by 2050 and mandated that the state release a climate plan by February 2005.

Clean Energy and Global Warming

New Incentive Program - Bring Solar Energy to your town!

In 2005, the CT Clean Energy Fund created a new solar incentive program. If your town commits to purchase clean energy as part of the 20% by 2010 campaign and 100 citizens in your town sign up for the CT Clean Energy Options, your town will qualify for a 1KW solar electric system worth $10,000! For each additional 100 sign-ups your town will earn another 1KW system. Help bring solar to your town and make your home a clean energy community.

Connecticut residents want to protect ourselves and those we love, preventing harm especially to babies and young children. Our homes and our bodies should be safe from unwanted and dangerous intrusion. But there's a toxic problem putting our health at risk.

Many manufactured products, and the processes used to make them, rely on thousands of dangerous substances and compounds that were unknown or little used as recently as fifty years ago. We're all involuntarily exposed to these toxics every day. We inhale them, eat them and drink them all the time.

Diesel pollution has serious effects on the health of Connecticut residents. Diesel pollution contributes to smog, is implicated in childhood asthma, and is associated with asthma attacks, heart attacks, and cancer. See how diesel pollution affects your community—enter your zip code here
