 Quote of the Day

"The best climate scientists in the world are telling us that extreme weather events like hurricanes are likely to become more powerful. When you combine stronger storms with rising seas, that's a recipe for more devastating floods... And that's why we are seeking to work with Congress to make sure that we are focused on resilience and the steps we can take to fortify our infrastructure in these communities."

 Question of the Week

http://click.mail.whitehouse.gov/?qs=bf62cd94f726550908aa7f7fced022966f301fbd3a7a1b79e3f640138db5a4432a5a38d32f0e17de 
Tell Us: What's Your Stake in Clean Water? 

One in three Americans get their drinking water from areas that don't have clear pollution protection.

But this week, after hundreds of meetings and reviewing more than 1 million comments from Americans, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers are taking steps to fix the problem. Together, they're releasing a Clean Water Rule that strengthens and expands protections for bodies of water that more than a third of Americans rely on for their drinking water.

Throughout the week, we've asked you to share with us why clean water is important to you -- and here's what you've told us:

"Clean water is important to me because my family -- myself, [my] partner, and [my] two children -- are all vegan. As we eat a plant-based diet, we appreciate the fact that water is there to grow the foods that humans need to survive."

-- Eleanor T. from Livermore, CA

"Healthy clean water sources provide for healthy communities. I shared once before that healthy water sources are influenced by environmental challenges. While too much water is a flood in one part of the nation, too little water is a drought in another. In some areas environmental impact has to do with the wrong chemicals in water sources, and in other areas environmental impact is through natural sources and what is added to the water as water travels down stream."

-- Carol G. from Newport Beach, CA

"One word... health!"

-- Mike G. from Celina, TN
