Dear Mary, 

If you saw Lynn's note a couple weeks ago, you know that power plants have been contributing massive amounts of the toxic pollution in our water for decades. So I have a question for you – do you want to do something about it? Well, you can – today. Thousands of your neighbors have already had their say and you can join them with a tax-deductible donation today [ https://org.salsalabs.com/o/2155/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=6480 ]*.* *Plus, a generous donor will match your contribution - double your impact [ https://org.salsalabs.com/o/2155/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=6480 ]!* 

 [ https://org.salsalabs.com/o/2155/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=6480 ]Power plants account for more than 50% of the toxic pollution in our water every year. This pollution affects everyone and the problem will only get worse as time goes on. It's time to do something about it. Luckily, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to clean up this toxic mess. You can power Clean Water with a tax-deductible $50 donation today [ https://org.salsalabs.com/o/2155/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=6480 ]! 

EPA is proposing these commonsense limits because coal plants dump and leak millions of pounds of nasty pollutants into our rivers, streams, and other precious water resources every year. Many of these toxics are heavy metals like mercury, lead and arsenic, which are dangerous to humans, even in very low concentrations. These toxics also build-up in our bodies over time and remain in the environment for decades. Of course, the coal industry and power companies are fighting these rules – and that's why we need you. You can make "the" difference [ https://org.salsalabs.com/o/2155/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=6480 ] by joining Americans from Boston to Austin to Oakland and support the campaign to end Power Plant water pollution. 

This problem is not going away and neither is the coal industry. Without action from you and other Clean Water Fund supporters, we'll see more heavy metals and more toxic sludge in more streams and rivers, which means more contaminated rivers, more unhealthy streams, and more poisoned fish and wildlife. We need your voice – make a tax-deductible donation today [ https://org.salsalabs.com/o/2155/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=6480 ]!
