Turning Out the Environmental Vote in 2010

Clean Water Action builds grassroots strength in key states and communities to change politics and environmental policy in states, local communities and Washington, DC. We run muscular and effective grassroots campaigns to defeat anti-environment candidates, and support candidates who are committed to protecting our waters, our health, and our future. Our political program is non partisan.

Four Pennsylvania citizens discuss their knowledge of natural gas drilling, stake in the issue and motivation to protect Pennsylvania from the dangers of natural gas drilling.

You're invited to a special film screening and discussion in your neighborhood about natural gas drilling. Split Estate shows the devastating health and environmental effects of natural gas drilling on communities across the Southwestern United States. The same "hydrofracking" technology that has damaged communities in Colorado and elsewhere is already being used in Pennsylvania to extract gas from the expansive Marcellus Shale formation.

Join the movement to make sure drilling for natural gas does not contaminate Pennsylvania's land and water.

Diesel Pollution Makes Us Sick

Diesel engines emit a mixture of particles, metals and gasses including over 40 "hazardous air pollutants" as classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Air Act. Diesel pollution can trigger asthma and cause lung cancer, stroke, and heart attack, contributing to 21,000 early deaths a year. Nationally, diesel exhaust poses a cancer risk that is 7 times greater than the combined risk of all air toxics assessed by EPA. Diesel exhaust is particularly dangerous because it is emitted at ground level - just where people breathe it in¹ .

Each year, 120 or more supporters, friends and leaders in the work of the Clean Water Fund in Southeast Pennsylvania gather along Philadelphia's historic boathouse row, in a beautiful setting that overlooks the Schuylkill River.

Pennsylvania Tour of Gasland

Clean Water Action is helping organize screenings of Josh Fox's Sundance Award Winning documentary Gasland. This event will help raise awareness about the negative impact of natural gas drilling on public health and the environment.

Gasland tells the story of the effects of the largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in history. The Halliburton-developed drilling technology of "fracking" or hydraulic fracturing has unlocked a "Saudia Arabia of natural gas" just beneath us. But is fracking safe?

When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for drilling, he embarks on a cross-country odyssey uncovering a trail of secrets, lies, and contamination.
