Clean Water Action, on behalf of the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, invites you to attend a free workshop on Rhode Island's Clean Diesel Program.

Clean Water Action has scheduled a meeting with Mayor Jeanne-Marie Napolitano of Newport on Tuesday, Febuary 23rd. The meeting will focus on diesel pollution and possible solutions to the health threat it presents. Clean Water Action is calling for letters from the Newport area to express the public interest in this important issue.

Letters are immensely valuable to the political process, and will ensure that we get as effective a solution as possible. Please take the moment to write a quick letter or email addressed to the Mayor and Email it to Michael Coates at provcwa@cleanwater.org. Below is a sample letter to show the basic structure and length desirable.

Dear Mayor Napolitano,
