Since 1972, Clean Water Action (CWA) has been a leading grassroots organization that seeks to protect our natural resources, safeguard public health, promote passage of strong environmental laws, and help communities address local pollution problems.
With over 1 MILLION members nationwide, our success comes from the strength in numbers generated by our field canvass organizers, which could be YOU! We are a dynamic group known for our progressive, team-oriented work environment and with 43 years of victories for environmental, political, and social justice, we're just getting started!
Recent Victories :
~~Our most recent victory happened in October 2015 when we got Austin City Council to approve another 450 megawatts of solar energy! It will be the LARGEST SOLAR INSTALLATION in Texas and more than double the solar availability across the state!
~~In September 2015, we won a national campaign that caps the amount of toxins allowed in our air and water from dirty coal plants around the country!
~~In May 2015, we won a 12-year battle with the EPA that finally extends more significant protections against corporate dumping of toxins to smaller bodies of water across the country.
Current Campaigns :
~~We are currently working to elect an eco-friendly candidate to local office on the Travis County Commissioner's Court during the run-offs.
~~Statewide, we're working with the Legislature to regulate the Texas Railroad Commission (TRC) through the "Sunset Review" process, which determines the validity of state agencies every 10-15 years. Our staff is generating letters from the public to ask the Sunset Review Board to enforce higher standards for the TRC to be more transparent, change the name to reflect the agency's true nature in supporting the oil & gas industries, and publicly disclosing its permits, licenses, duties, and exemptions.
~~Our new national campaign is to work with the federal EPA to curb methane emissions from oil and gas wells across the country. Methane is a known greenhouse gas, and when released into the atmosphere, it becomes 86 times more potent over a 20 year period, furthering global warming and climate change.
