Celebrate forty years of the Clean Water Act today!

Dear Mary,

For forty years, Clean Water Action, our allies, and millions of Americans have taken action for clean water. Our best tool in the fight for a clean water future has been the landmark, Clean Water Act [ http://www.cleanwateraction.org/feature/forty-years-clean-water-act ]. Today marks the fortieth anniversary of the Clean Water Act – and we're celebrating!

Celebrate with us – Join us on Twitter [ http://twitter.com/cleanh2oaction ] to support the Clean Water Act and our clean water future. It's easy, use the hashtag #CleanWaterAct and join thousands of other clean water supporters! Here's a sample tweet:" For 40 years the #CleanWaterAct has protected America's waters and ensured that they are fishable, drinkable, and swimmable. Thank you!" More details about the Twitter Party here [ http://blog.cleanwateraction.org/2012/10/17/tell-the-world-you-support-the-cleanwateract ].

When Congress overwhelmingly passed the Clean Water Act in 1972, we set an incredibly ambitious goal: eliminate all water pollution. Before the Act, rivers like the Cuyahoga caught fire, Lake Erie was declared "dead", untreated waste was routinely dumped in rivers and streams and wetlands were thought to be useless swamps that needed to be drained for development or agriculture. The Clean Water Act changed all of that. Our progress toward a clean water future has been stunning – but we're not there yet [ http://www.cleanwateraction.org/feature/clean-water-act-future ]. Learn more on "We All Live Downstream" [ http://blog.cleanwateraction.org ]!

We have a responsibility to restore and protect our nation's greatest natural resource – water – for current and future generations. There is no better day to renew our commitment to a clean water future than today. It starts with you and me – show your support for the Clean Water Act and help us build a clean water future!

For clean water, 

-Bob
