Tell New York’s leaders: Stop bottle pollution
Please send a message to Governor Cuomo and your state representatives, urging them to support Assemblymember Englebright and Senator Kaminsky’s A.5028a/S2119a, which would expand New York State’s bottle deposit program to include non-carbonated beverages as well as wine and liquor glass bottles.
Keep the Hudson River flowing!
American Rivers has named the Hudson among America’s Most Endangered Rivers, citing the grave threat that the potential construction of storm-surge barriers could pose to this rich tidal estuary.
Tell Congress: Don’t Cut the EPA’s Budget
President Trump is proposing to slash the EPA’s budget again by nearly a third, after having previous attempts to gut the agency rejected by Congress, twice. Tell your federal representatives: Trump’s proposal to slash EPA funding flushes common sense down the drain.
Save the Clean Water Act
The Trump Administration is threatening to undercut federal protections for the small streams and wetlands that are essential to the health of rivers and lakes. Riverkeeper is joining the Waterkeeper Alliance and water advocates nationwide in opposing this attack on the Clean Water Act. Comments are due by April 15th.
Report Dead Sturgeon
Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon are protected by the Endangered Species Act, and New York has committed to limiting impacts on these fish throughout the construction of the Tappan Zee Bridge project. Riverkeeper is carefully monitoring the process, and we’ve retained the right to enforce the permit requirements designed to protect sturgeon if sturgeon are being harmed. Be watchful when visiting the river, and make timely and thorough reports if you observe a dead sturgeon.
