Thanks to the thousands of you who sent letters in to their Representatives, on November 1, 2007, the House of Representatives passed the Hardrock Mining and Reclamation Act (HR 2262)!

This spring, the Senate Energy Committee is writing a mining reform bill of its own. If passed, the Hardrock Mining and Reclamation Act will change the way that mining occurs on public lands and is a giant step toward bringing mining on public lands into the 21st century.

Urge your Senator to support REAL mining law reform.

Tell the NRC one size doesn't fit all when it comes to uranium minig

The NRC is trying to shirk its responsibility to provide environmental assessments for new areas impacted by uranium mining. Instead, they would prefer to write a "generic" environmental impact statement, denying communities their right to know the specific implications of in situ uranium mining.

Tell the NRC that communities deserve their own assessments because in situ mining always pollutes.

On February 17, 2009, TVs in 21 million American households could become obsolete due to a national transition of TV stations from analog to digital broadcast signals.

This planned obsolescence will mean that older TVs could be dumped into trash sites in Africa and Asia, resulting in more toxic wastes and public health risks from the beginning to the end of this product's life cycle.

While some companies are implementing responsible recycling programs for their old TVs, most companies are ignoring the problem.

Tell the CEOs of major electronics firms to take responsibility for their toxic TVs.

In 2000, a massive cyanide spill in the Romanian town of Baia Mare, polluted local rivers, contaminating the drinking water supplies of 2.5 million people and killing 1,200 tons of fish.

The Romanian community of Rosia Montana is now faced with a proposed gold mine that would involve building an unlined tailings pond filled with cyanide-tainted mine waste.

Places such as Montana, Costa Rica and the Czech Republic have enacted legislation banning cyanide in mining. Romania's legislatures are now voting on a bill to ban cyanide in mining.

Urge Romania's leaders to support communities' right to a toxic-free future.
