They want to deregulate our drinking water

Your Drinking Water Could Soon Come From Unregulated Rivers and Streams. And That Could Be Dangerous. Sign Now Dear friends, It should be common sense that drinking water must be protected. After all, human beings need water in order to stay alive. Every day, we drink water and whatever is inside that liquid gets put into our bodies, meaning it has to be absolutely clean and safe. Yet the U.S. government just showed they don't care about our water or our health. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), headed by Donald Trump's eco-hating cronies, recently proposed a plan to remove regulations for "non-permanent" water sources. What does that mean? Essentially, thousands of miles of streams and wetlands that we use to source drinking water will suddenly be unprotected, meaning it's open season for polluters. We've seen what happens when we let corporations do whatever they want with our health and our environment. They dump toxic runoff, evade responsibility, and haphazardly pollute our land. That doesn't only damage our environment. It also means poisoning the water we drink. The EPA's change in regulations could impact a full third of all Americans. That's one in three people who would be at risk of drinking polluted water. It should be obvious that we need to regulate the bodies of water we drink out of, and any other bodies of water that feed into those sources. We shouldn't have to tell the EPA that, but clearly it's time for us to remind them! Take action today to preserve the Clean Water Act! Sign the petition demanding the EPA protect our water from contamination and keep vital regulations intact. Thank you for all that you do,   Ellen B. The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. We need to act quickly to protect our drinking water from toxic corporate pollution. Sign the petition today to keep vital clean water regulations in place!
