Take Action

You can help build a greener California with CLCV by taking action on our current Action Alerts:

	Water Quality & Supply Safe, clean water is a human right (AB 685): Ask the California Legislature to make clean water a right for all Californians.
	Toxics & Public Health Ban foam food containers (SB 568):Polystyrene foam finds its way into us and our environment, threatening wildlife as well as public health.
	Good Government Support the California Disclose Act (AB 1648): Help expose polluters’ hidden agendas by making political ads more transparent. Support Clean Elections: Keep Dirty Coal and Big Oil from buying our democracy. Defend the EPA: Stop federal legislation that would cripple the EPA.
	Wildlife and Habitat Conservation Keep California wild (OPPOSE H.R. 1581): Stop the federal attempt to give away our wilderness areas to industry.

Lawmakers still listen to their constituents. A small number of phone calls or letters is taken to represent the opinion of many more people. A steady stream of feedback to elected and appointed officials has been repeatedly successful in convincing legislators to vote for environmental bills.
