We continue to work with our national SAFER and Safer Chemicals Healthy Families colleagues to press for meaningful reform of our outdated and ineffective federal Toxic Substances Control Act. The Safe Chemicals Act 2011, a bill supported by our national partners, goes a long way to fix our broken system. We’ve generated numerous calls and hundreds of citizen letters to our U.S. Senators urging them to support this bill. We are extremely grateful to Senator Blumenthal for his leadership in signing on as a co-sponsor. We continue to urge Senator Lieberman to do the same.
Clean Energy In Connecticut
Letters to Senators
The Barrasso/Heller Amendment to the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act (H.R. 2354) is bad news. It would permanently bar the Army Corps of Engineers from restoring longstanding Clean Water Act protections to water bodies throughout the country. This undermines the common-sense protections that Americans expect to ensure clean water for drinking, swimming and fishing. We have to stop it - and we will.
