Milestones

We want the government to pass legislation to require all commercial and utility wastewater to be more comprehensively filtered to help remove more harmful chemicals, pharmaceuticals and microplastics before it enters the environment.

We are concerned that microplastics, chemicals and pharmaceuticals are harming rivers, wildlife and public health. We want mandatory full filtration that will require stricter environmental licensing and place legal responsibility on businesses and government. This could protect ecosystems and secure clean water for future generations.
