Save Our Lakes

Runoff pollution threatens 90% of Wisconsin’s inland lakes, resulting in massive algae blooms, weeds and fish kills. Last year, urged on by our members, the state approved stronger, science-based rules to reduce pollution. Unfortunately, Gov. Walker is trying to weaken the enforcement of these new rules — so we’re working to make sure that the public speaks out to protect our lakes for future generations.

Healthy Farms, Healthy Planet

The food we eat is one of our closest connections to the natural world. Farms should be environmentally friendly and provide food that is safe and healthy. Wisconsin Environment is working to make sure the rules for conventional farms are strong enough to protect our lakes and rivers. At the same time, we are helping to build the market for food from local farms that grow diversified crops using sustainable practices.

Go Solar, Wisconsin

Right now, Wisconsin is addicted to dirty and dangerous fossil fuels. By tapping the enormous potential of the sun we can clean up our energy mix and put Wisconsinites back to work developing the energy to power our state into the future.

Get Wisconsin Off Oil

The environmental costs of our oil dependence are out of control — from the accidents and spills, to smog, to climate change. It's time to set this country on a path to getting off oil for good. We can get there by convincing our leaders to make new investments in fuel-efficient cars, new technology, and a first-class system of public transportation.

Clean Air, Healthy Families

New EPA clean air standards will cut mercury pollution by 90% and save 46,000 lives each year. The coal industry and their friends in Congress are trying to roll back these standards, but we’re urging Congress to let EPA do its job and move forward with its commonsense plan to protect public health.
