Working for Clean Water Progress
clean water fund brings people together to solve health, consumer, environmental and community problems.
2010 Annual Report
water is fundamental
Over the years, Clean Water Fund’s programs have grown to encompass a wide range of environmental and health concerns. But all of these issues and all of our work connect to clean, safe and affordable water. This remains the fundamental core of our work.
Our issues have never been more important than they are today. They cut across the entire spectrum of environmental concerns.
The Big Idea
let's create a clean water future by engaging the next generation of environmental leaders.
Nobody has a greater stake in our clean water future than youth. We need to build a new movement with fresh vision and leadership to ensure our nation’s clean water progress continues. Clean Water Fund will build this movement - with your support.
District Bag Fee
Clean Water Fund is working with allies to build on the successful campaign to place a 5 cents fee for plastic and paper bags, to discourage unneccesary waste and help fund clean-up efforts. Clean Water Fund has also worked to ensure that the fund created by the fee isn't raided during challenging budget discussions between the Mayor and Council.
Neighbor to Neighbor Energy Challenge
Clean Water Fund is coordinating outreach for this innovative effort to help residents of 14 towns save energy and save money on their utility bills. Clean Water Fund and a corps of recent college graduates are working closely with municipal leaders and local volunteers to help communities come together around the goal of helping 10% of households cut their energy use 20% over a 3 year period.
The Diesel Campaign in Massachusetts
The fine particle pollution from diesel emissions shortens the lives of an estimated 21,000 people nationwide and 2 million worldwide every year. The Massachusetts Diesel Coalition is committed to reducing the health risks and global warming impacts from diesel pollution, calling on government and private institutions like hospitals and universities to create plans for reducing emissions from owned and contracted diesel vehicles. This goal would extend and save thousands of lives, improve the health and well being of Massachusetts residents, help mitigate global warming, and yield large economic benefits.
