Dear friend,

What if the water coming out of your faucet every day was quietly exposing your family to toxic chemicals?

That’s the unsettling reality for millions of Americans. EWG’s newly updated Tap Water Database reveals that hundreds of contaminants – including suspected carcinogens and chemicals linked to serious health risks – are widespread in drinking water across the country. The tap water in many communities is contaminated at levels that exceed what scientists consider safe.

The government could and should be doing more to protect our drinking water. But until stronger regulations are in place, EWG is here to provide the independent science and tools you need to safeguard your health.

That’s why we urgently need your support. We must raise $25,000 before March closes at midnight tonight. If we miss this goal, we will fall behind on our budget, putting our ability to continue this essential work at risk.

Donate $50 or more today and as a thank-you, we’ll send you a FREE custom-designed Klean Kanteen water bottle as a thank you – but supplies are limited.

The threat to our water is only growing. The EPA has announced plans to eliminate its Office of Science and Technology – the home of the agency’s chemists, toxicologists and biologists. These are the very experts who evaluate chemical safety and help set public health standards. If this plan moves forward, it will likely mean fewer protections for our water, not more.

That’s why EWG’s independent research is more important than ever – to hold polluters accountable and arm the public with facts.

At EWG, we believe knowledge is power. Our work helps you make informed decisions about your water, your health and your family’s safety. But none of this is possible without your help.

Make your tax-deductible gift before the midnight deadline and ensure we can continue our vital water research and advocacy. Remember if you donate $50 or more, we will send you a custom-designed Klean Kanteen as a thank you.

Thank you for standing with us.
