Please tell Congress that we need immediate action to stop the Asian Carp from destroying our Great Lakes! Right now, thousands of Asian Carp are swimming north, infesting many rivers and lakes – even ones flowing into neighboring Great Lakes. Because Asian Carp consume up to 40% of their body weight each day, they have the potential to radically alter the Great Lakes by destroying the food chain that sustains our native fish. Plus, they've been known to jump high enough to land in fishing boats! Bottom line: If they become established, our $7 billion fishing industry would be at risk, as would our ability to enjoy Wisconsin's beautiful waterways. Asian Carp have not yet entered our Great Lakes, which means we still have time to stop them by permanently separating the Great Lakes and Mississippi River waterways. A recent report demonstrates that restoring the separation between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River systems can be done cost-effectively and provide a permanent solution to invasive species entering the Great Lakes through the Chicago Waterway System. Please contact your members of Congress to tell them to stop the Asian Carp!

Did you know that last year alone, Wisconsin residents saved $264 million in energy costs by using the Focus on Energy program to help make upgrades to their homes and businesses? And, since 2001, Focus on Energy has saved Wisconsin businesses more than $212 million in annual energy costs. You can see why we are working extra hard to protect the funds for this important program! We think it’s time to turn up the heat on Governor Walker about important funding for Focus on Energy. Would you take 30 seconds to send this email to Governor Walker?

For the first time in history, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed to limit the carbon dioxide pollution emitted from new power plants. With summer around the corner, the demand for power will increase, sending even more dangerous carbon pollution into the air we all breathe. It’s the perfect time to send a message to the EPA in support of carbon pollution standards. This is a crucial first step to curb carbon pollution that threatens each of us. Sending a message during the EPA’s open comment period is critical to showing the EPA that the public supports carbon standards to protect our health and trigger investments and innovation in clean energy.

Although the legislative session has ended without action to change Wisconsin’s mining laws, conversations at the Capitol continue about the future of these laws. Please tell your legislators to keep in mind that protecting our air and water needs to be top priority. The impacts of mining are disruptive, but they don’t have to be devastating if we have strong environmental protections in our mining laws. If written incorrectly, iron mines can have huge impacts for our Northwoods – our watersheds, ecosystems, clean air, drinking water, and even Lake Superior. Please tell your legislator to oppose any future mining bill that would undo protections for our air and water by sending the message below.
