From Environment New York:
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, the Hudson River is in desperate need of some love.
Many of our cherished waterways are suffering from toxic pollution, sewage and industrial waste. Right now the Environmental Protection Agency is setting new rules for protecting waters across the country.
Rollbacks to the Clean Water Act cast doubt on the protections many of our streams and wetlands had enjoyed for decades, so we are asking the EPA to do all they can to restore these protections and stop polluters from harming our waters.
But we know it is not going to be all hugs and kisses for the EPA as they move forward in this process — big polluters and their allies in Congress are already fighting back. That’s why we want you to show your love for the Hudson and encourage the EPA to do all they can this Valentine’s Day to protect the waters we cherish. Click here to send your valentine.
