Friend: The Clean Water Act was visionary legislation — but nearly 50 years later, is it still effective?
It is a landmark piece of legislation. However, it has not been fully implemented. Much more needs to be done to address the ongoing and emerging threats to the health of American waterways. And that’s why I’m writing to you now, with some exciting news.
Our team has developed our first-ever quiz to help you make up your own mind — and a close friend of Waterkeeper Alliance will donate $1 for every person who tests their Clean Water IQ!
The Clean Water Act was passed in 1972 to address the most severe pollution issues of the day.
Today, it can be hard to remember just how fouled our waters were before the Act passed, as unregulated sewage, industrial waste, and more flowed freely into our rivers and streams.
When you take this quick quiz now, you’ll have an opportunity to test your knowledge of this landmark environmental law we talk so much about … and answer this question for yourself!
Plus, you’ll be unlocking a $1 gift for Waterkeeper Alliance with just three clicks of the mouse. Not to mention — you might even learn something that surprises you!
