The Environmental Protection Agency just proposed rescinding the Clean Water Rule, threatening the health of our lakes, rivers, streams, and wetlands in Maine. Now it is time to tell EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt and the Maine Congressional delegation that Mainers support this rule for the health of our neighbors, our waters, and our economy.

Take Action to Protect Clean Water
Tell the Department of Environmental Protection to Support an Effective RGGI
As northeastern states extend the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) from 2020 to 2030, Maine’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will help make decisions regarding regional levels of carbon pollution. Write to urge the DEP to keep us on track to lower carbon emissions from power plants while lowering energy costs.
Tell President Trump to Stop Rollbacks on Climate Protection
President Trump issued an Executive Order to roll back America’s climate protections, including the landmark Clean Power Plan. NRCM and our partners around the state and country will use every tool we have to fight back, including legal action and people power. The stakes are too high and climate action is imperative. We need your help. Send a letter today!
