Local organizers turned out at Dallas Earth Day to bring attention to issues affecting our air and water. They urged everyone to take these steps:

  • Become active at drilling permit hearings, asking cities not to allow irresponsible gas drilling practices
  • Contact Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asking her to deny a presidential permit that would extend the XL Tar Sands pipeline--a pipeline that is proposed to run from Canada and down through Texas  
  • Sign a petition against the dumping of radioactive waste by 36 states at a location in Texas.
