Policy Solutions for Clean Water

We fight for cleaner water by identifying policy solutions with allies and engaging with our elected officials. There are many actions state and local leaders can prevent pollution, including: 

  • Protecting and conserving the rivers and streams that supply our drinking water 
  • Investing in clean energy production like wind and solar and protecting Pennsylvania’s waters from fracking
  • Preventing polluted runoff from mining and big agriculture
  • Investing in green infrastructure to naturally filter polluted runoff that our outdated water treatment systems can’t handle 
  • Reducing exposure to lead and other dangerous chemicals in public drinking water systems
  • Addressing brownfields 
  • Stopping plastics from entering our waterways
