Environmental Action

Now’s the time to be involved in this public participation campaign.  We’ve worked over 20 years on this cause and we all need to pitch in for the final push for PCB pollution cleanup, public compensation and restoration of the Fox River and Green Bay.  You can help protect public health, fish and wildlife, and prevent this ever happening again. 

Together we citizens CAN make a difference!
 
May 2007 Update

Awful Changes Still Proposed 
for Fox River Clean-up

So far, the DNR and EPA are still proposing a new Fox River Cleanup plan which is drastically weaker than the plan we were promised 3.5 years ago, in 2003. (see details)

Good News!  Our new Congressman, Steve Kagen, has taken action this April and May, 2007, to re-open the public debate on the sediment capping plan.
