| Conserve Prince William Today Special Edition |
 This special edition of CPWToday focuses on two critical issues, read it HERE.
The first is Possum Point Coal Ash disposal, the second is Global Climate Change.
At Possum Point, coal ash disposal issues need immediate attention because there is a public hearing scheduled on February 16 (see side bar).
Dominion Energy is proceeding as quickly as possible to implement the cheapest solution, despite some test data that indicate its coal ash ponds are poisoning nearby homeowners’ water supplies and damaging Quantico Creek and the Potomac River.
The second, Global Climate Change, is happening faster than originally projected and is already impacting people and the environment.
You can make a difference in the outcome of both. It is our hope that the information we provide will help you do that.
It is not a cliché: Think Globally, Act Locally. Your support of local environmental organizations, such as the Prince William Conservation Alliance, makes a difference. |
