American Rivers: RiverAlert: The Endangered St. Johns River Needs Your Help
The St. Johns River provides scenic beauty, recreational opportunities, and important fish and wildlife habitat. But the river is threatened by a water withdrawal proposal that would cost taxpayers billions, fuel more runaway sprawl, and damage the river’s ecology. Instead of taking precious freshwater from the fragile St. Johns, water managers should implement proven conservation and efficiency measures that will not only save the river’s health, but protect the long-term sustainability of community water supplies.

American Rivers: RiverAlert: The Endangered Allagash Wilderness Waterway Needs Your Help
Once a crown jewel of the nation’s Wild and Scenic Rivers System, the unique character of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway in northern Maine is in jeopardy. State river managers are being pressured to dilute or strip protections that safeguard the river’s recreational, economic and ecological values. In 2008, the 40th anniversary of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, the state must strengthen, not weaken, protections for the Allagash and, by example, help uphold the integrity of rivers protected under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act nationwide.

Public Campaign Action Fund: Drilling for Campaign Cash
Last week it was reported that Exxon Mobil broke its own quarterly earnings record. That’s right: while we’re stretching our dollars to fill up our tanks, Exxon Mobil raked in $11.7 billion. If Exxon Mobil were a country, it would have the 18th largest economy in the world, according to the Washington Post.

The Wilderness Society: Fire-Safe Communities Act
More than ever, we need to come together and tell our elected officials to move towards better solutions to our fire challenges. Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s Fire-Safe Communities Act is a much needed start. It would provide incentives and a national model ordinance for communities so that they are less vulnerable to fire.
