Tuesday, January 26, 2010 is the 6th Annual Conservation Lobby Day
Every year, the League of Conservation voters sets up a day to ask state legislators to address the top Conservation Priorities the group has decided upon. Conservation Lobby Day is your day to tell your state Assembly Representative and your state Senator why you care about clean water, global warming, and conservation integrity. The priorities are:
Preserve Groundwater: Wisconsin's Buried Treasure: manage Wisconsin's groundwater resources to preserve lakes, streams, wetlands and drinking water supplies- .
Stop Global Warming in Wisconsin: address the threats of global warming in Wisconsin through clean, renewable energy jobs and energy conservation.
-
Restore Conservation Integrity: return Wisconsin to an Independent DNR Secretary and a timely appointment of Natural Resource Board members.
Protect Wisconsin's Drinking Water: protect Wisconsin's drinking water supplies by making sure we safely spread agricultural, municipal, and industrial waste.
If you have any remaining questions, please don't hesitate to contact Jennifer Giegerich at (608) 661-0845 or jennifer@conservationvoters.org. If you can't make the Lobby Day event, please contact your legislators by phone, e-mail, or letter to let them know that you wish them to take action on these issues.
