On the Right Track: MARC Saves Energy and Protects the Environment 7/06/2010

Each year, the Maryland Area Rail Commuter (MARC) system saves area travelers about 7.1 million gallons of gasoline - the same amount of fuel consumed by more than 12,000 cars annually. MARC is a great example of how we can reduce energy consumption, curb our dependence on oil, and minimize pollution, while at the same time improving our quality of life, saving commuters money, and strengthening the economy.

Protect Our Great Waters 6/22/2010

From the Chesapeake Bay to the Puget Sound to the Great Lakes to the San Francisco Bay, Americans throughout the country depend on our waters for fishing, recreation and clean drinking water. Our waters are integral to the economies of these cities and their surrounding areas. Unfortunately, our waters continue to be plagued by high levels of pollution. To restore and protect our great waters, Environment America is calling on Congress to pass legislation this summer that will reduce pollution, increase investments in restoration efforts, and protect our most treasured places for generations to come.
