It's up to all of us to protect Washington's waterways No images? Click here John, During the summer we are drawn to the water – whether that be a sparkling lake, a fast-moving river, or a favorite beach along Puget Sound or the Pacific Ocean. Everyone in Washington relies on healthy waterways, but hotter temperatures and pollution put the future of our water – and how we live our lives – at risk. As people, we rely on water for everything. We can’t afford to take it for granted. And salmon, orcas, and other key species are suffering from warming temperatures, polluted runoff, and dwindling habitat. At Washington Conservation Action, we work across the state to find solutions and protect our waterways for future generations. Right now, we’re celebrating Orca Action Month by calling for a ban on toxic chemicals that don’t just threaten orcas – they are toxic to all of us. We are also playing a key role in the coalition to remove dams on the Snake River - a historic opportunity to accomplish the largest salmon recovery in history, uphold Tribal Treaty rights, and set a course for Washington’s energy future. We all rely on water – and Washington’s waterways support an ecosystem unlike anywhere else in the world. It’s up to all of us to protect it. Thanks for your support.
