Protect the Natural Beauty Of Ozark National Scenic Riverways

Preserve the beauty of Ozark National Scenic Riverways by closing illegal roads and horse trails.

Why This Matters

Ozark National Scenic Riverways is Missouri’s largest national park and one of our state’s greatest treasures. With a rich array of wildlife and free-flowing rivers, it provides one-of-a-kind outdoor experiences to millions of visitors each year.

Illegal vehicle use and horse trails have put the park’s natural beauty at risk, making it difficult and even dangerous for people to enjoy it. The National Park Service just released a plan to protect this scenic gem by closing these illegal roads and trails, but it needs $2.2 million to put its plan into action.

Tell Senators Blunt and McCaskill to add National Park Service funding to the national budget and keep our Ozark Riverways clean and safe.

Tell Governor Wolf to Close Pollution Loopholes For Dirty Coal!

Close the loophole that exempts the Brunner Island Power Plant from Pennsylvania's proposed smog rule.

Why This Matters

The Brunner Island power plant is the only large coal plant in the state without modern pollution controls. In fact, this plant alone is responsible for almost one-third of all smog-causing NOx pollution from stationary sources in southeastern Pennsylvania, and it would be allowed to continue to pollute downwind areas that already violate federal safeguards for smog levels.

About two-thirds of Pennsylvanians live in areas with unsafe levels of smog pollution. The loophole exempting Brunner Island from the state's plan to reduce pollution needs to be closed to protect the health of millions of Pennsylvanians.

Seize the Grid For 100% Clean Energy By 2030

 Seize the Grid For 100% Clean Energy By 2030

Transition 600 campuses and communities nationwide to 100% clean energy by 2030.

Why This Matters

Continued reliance on fossil fuels makes our communities sick and furthers impacts of climate disruption.Young people especially are impacted by pollution from coal plants and other fossil fuels and will face more threats from climate disruption. 

The good news is that campuses and communities can choose clean energy. And their demand for 100% clean energy will put significant pressure on utility providers to start buying more wind and solar and less dirty coal. 

Sign now to support campus administrators and community leaders in standing up to the self-interest of utility and fossil fuel companies and taking back our energy.

It’s Time to Reject Keystone XL Once and For All

President Obama has vetoed Congress's bill that tried to force approval of the Keystone XL pipeline! But the president still has to make his final decision on whether KXL is in our national interest.

Why This Matters

The president has made it clear that Keystone XL can't be in our national interest -- and thus must be rejected -- if it increases carbon pollution and makes climate change worse. The EPA recently advised the State Department that KXL would do just that.

President Obama has all the information he needs to reject this pipeline. The facts are clear: Keystone XL fails his climate test, puts future generations at risk, and is all risk and no reward for America.

TAKE ACTION: Thank President Obama for vetoing Big Oil's Keystone XL bill, and urge him to finish this by rejecting Keystone XL once and for all!

Take Action to Save Wolves

Tell your senators and representative to oppose any anti-wolf legislation introduced in Congress.

Why This Matters

Members of Congress are working on legislation to remove existing or future Endangered Species Act protections for wolves in four states.

Thanks to these federal protections, wolf populations are recovering in the northern Rockies and the Midwest. Unfortunately, wolves are still missing from the vast majority of their former range due to centuries of ruthless hunting, trapping and poisoning.

Now, the House may consider HR 884 -- legislation that would permanently strip wolves of their federal protections in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. If anti-wolf legislators get their way, the result will be more threats to wolf recovery and a blow to the Endangered Species Act.

Keep 350 Million Tons Of Coal in the Ground!

Stop the Forest Service from giving the second largest coal company in the U.S. access to 19,000 acres of public forest and 350 millions tons of taxpayer-owned coal.

Why This Matters

The Arch Coal Loophole would grant Arch and one other coal mine access to 350 million tons of publicly-owned coal and unleash more than half a billion tons of carbon pollution into our climate so one coal company can reap huge profits.

We have a chance to stop this destructive mine expansion before it starts and keep the coal in the ground by making it clear this plan will do irreparable damage to our environment.

Take action now to tell the Forest Service to stop climate disruption at its source by keeping the coal in the ground!
