** Food and Water Watch **
The Food and Drug Administration recently released its draft plan for approving animals that are genetically engineered to grow faster, produce more milk, or even produce drugs in their tissues. To make matters worse, the FDA is not requiring that food from GE animals be labeled, so consumers won’t know if the food they buy for their families was produced with this controversial technology.

Tell FDA to ban the use of genetically engineered animals for food.

One of the first, defining decisions facing President-elect Obama's Environmental Protection Agency is whether to heed the Supreme Court and regulate global warming pollution under the Clean Air Act.

We have an opportunity right now to shape that decision.

Send an email to the EPA today supporting strong action under existing law to protect human health by reducing global warming pollution.

** The Wilderness Society **
In northwest Colorado, you'll find a place with stunning scenic vistas—all of which are at risk of being tainted by noxious air pollution.

At the crossroads of the Green and Yampa Rivers, Little Snake Resource Area is a sweeping landscape of canyon lands and blooming perennial streams, flanked by the stirring backdrops of Mount Zirkel Wilderness and Dinosaur National Monument.

The air here is fresh and clean. But, the Little Snake and surrounding communities could soon be exposed to harmful air pollution due to increasing pressure for oil and gas development.

At the instruction of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Bureau of Land Management has already conducted an air quality assessment of proposed energy development in the region, but the BLM's study fell short. It lacked the depth needed to truly analyze the extent of potential pollution in the area.

Little Snake needs you to speak out. Ensure that northwest Colorado's air quality and scenic views remain pristine for generations to come. Encourage the BLM to do a more in-depth air quality impact analysis now.
