We’re campaigning for Microplastic Free Waters
Tiny plastic pellets, called “nurdles,” are being dumped into our waterways. A new bill could make this microplastic pollution illegal.
Together we can protect the waterways that sustain our communities and our health.
Our waterways should be safe for swimming, fishing and drinking. But weak regulations and lax enforcement allow many of our rivers, lakes and streams to become so polluted they are no longer safe. This pollution, along with outdated infrastructure – like lead pipes in our schools – puts our health at risk. We need to work together to make sure our water is treated like the life-giving resource that it is.

he City of Baltimore filed a lawsuit on Friday against 20 manufacturers of poly- and perfluoroalkyl (PFAS) “forever” chemicals used in a certain type of firefighting foam, known as aqueous film forming foam(AFFF).
PFAS used in children's school uniforms to make the clothes stain-resistant also pose a toxic threat to kids' health.
