Our country faces unprecedented challenges. In November, unemployment reached the highest level in 14 years. America is still addicted to oil. The global warming crisis goes unabated.

With this election, Americans signaled we are ready to find new, lasting solutions to our energy, economy and global warming challenges.

Now is the time to Repower, Refuel and Rebuild America. By investing in clean energy, we can cut our dependence on oil, get clean electricity and reduce Global Warming pollution.

These investments will create millions of good-paying jobs in the hardest-hit construction and manufacturing sectors and create pathways out of poverty for the most affected communities.

Clean Water Action is working to make a clean, renewable energy economy a reality in Minnesota and on the national level. We advocate for strong, science-based policies both in the State Legislature and Congress.
In the state, Clean Water Action advocates for a variety of clean energy policies, focused primarily on Cap, Auction and Trade legislation - to reduce Global Warming pollution quickly and effectively.

Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a harmful chemical found in many plastic children’s products including baby bottles, formula can linings and sippy cups. Studies done at one landfill showed that BPA was present in the groundwater near the landfill 20 years after it was closed. Since safer alternatives are available, BPA should be phased out to pro¬tect the health of young children, who are especially vulnerable to its effects.

Send an email to your legislators and the Governor today to urge them to protect the health of our children.
