For much of the last decade, Clean Water Action has worked to restore Clean Water Act protections for many water bodies.

Ask your Representative to Co-Sponsor HR2359, the Safe Cosmetics Act!

Did you know right now in the U.S. it's perfectly legal for there to be lead in lipstick and carcinogens in baby shampoo?  Some of these chemicals don't even appear on product labels.
