Governor Schwarzenegger: Protect My Bay
Cargill's massive Bay fill development in Redwood City would put a new city into a sea-level flood plain. But sea levels are rising, and the State of California has developed new policies for adapting to climate change impacts. Tell Governor Schwarzenegger to support the Climate Adaptation Strategy and oppose Cargill’s proposed new city in San Francisco Bay salt ponds.

Tell President Obama to End the Age of Oil
The current BP spill in the Gulf of Mexico is unfathomable in its environmental devastation. The unfolding catastrophe reminds us that our own San Francisco Bay lives under the daily threat of a massive oil spill. Huge tankers filled with crude oil regularly make their way through dangerous straits and under narrow bridges to Bay-side refineries, feeding our seemingly insatiable desire for oil. Please urge President Obama to move forward a comprehensive clean energy strategy.

Help capture trash in the Bay - with your camera!
The State Water Board is compiling its "303(d) list" of impaired water bodies so severely threatened by trash and other pollutants that they violate the Clean Water Act, and is now accepting photos of trashy waterways to help decide which ones belong on the next 303(d) list. Please help document the severe trash problem affecting our Bay – submit your trash photos today!

Urge your state legislators to oppose Cargill's Bay-fill scheme
More than 125 current and former elected officials representing all nine Bay Area counties have joined together to urge the City Council of Redwood City to reject a massive development on Bay salt ponds proposed by Cargill Inc., declaring, "The era of filling San Francisco Bay is over." Please contact your state legislators now and urge them to sign the letter to oppose Cargill's plan to build houses on the Bay.

Kick the Bag Habit! Sign the Petition
Californians use an estimated 19 billion plastic bags per year. Only five percent of these are recycled. Once upon a time, everyone brought their own grocery bags. It's easy, but in the U.S., we're out of practice. With a little incentive, we can kick our bag habits together. The birds, fish and seals living in the Bay and ocean will thank us for it.
