While you are attending you can personally connect with your legislators. A quick conversation about why you care about clean water can go a long way.
Below are some basic talking points on clean water legislation (h.35), that you can state to your representatives.
o We need strong clean water legislation because healthy waters are essential for Vermonters' quality of life -- we all rely on clean water for our economy, tourism, recreation, as well as for drinking water and commercial activities.
o Water quality legislation should include stronger regulations on all major sources of pollution, including farms, roads, and developed lands.
o We need new sources of funding to allow the state to increase outreach, education, and enforcement of our clean water laws.
We face a rare opportunity to make significant progress on cleaning up Lake Champlain and waters across Vermont -- thanks for urging your legislators to support strong legislation!
