A national non-profit focused on protecting our water and environment, Clean Water Action has been in the Valley for more than 20 years. Working with like-minded groups and offering its expertise to grassroots activists, it boasts significant accomplishments, from pushing for laws to reduce toxic emissions from power plants (including the Mount Tom plant) to defeating various garbage incinerator proposals to fighting efforts by Nestle to privatize local water sources, notes Chris Bathurst, regional canvas supervisor. Coming up: a push for legislation to reduce toxins in everyday products like cleaners.
