Fight for Clean Water

"Over the last 25 years Chesapeake Bay restoration efforts have been littered with promises broken and commitments unfulfilled. It is time that EPA either step up to the plate or be held legally accountable for its failure to comply with the law and fulfill the commitment to reduce pollution sufficiently to have the Bay removed from the federal "dirty waters" list by 2010." - CBF President Will Baker

Join CBF's Fight for Clean Water as we hold the federal government accountable for their commitments. Sign our petition to the EPA administrator, and find out more about CBF's Chesapeake 2000 lawsuit.
