Take Action

This page is devoted to issues that WCAS feels are important on Federal, state and local environmental issues. Below you will find a brief summary of each issue and links to sample letters. We hope that you will join us in supporting these issues.

This is your opportunity to Take Action and let your government know what environmental issues are important to you.

How does your congress person rank on conservation issues?

Take a look at the League of Conservation Voters website. Put your zipcode in to see your representatives. Click on Scorecard to see their score for the current session. Then click on their name for detailed information on specific issues.

All you have to do is enter your zip code to see who your representatives are.  Then you can click on “Scorecard” to see their environmental conservation score for the current session.  You may also click on their name for detailed information on specific issues.  Remember that a quick visit to your local library can make the internet available to you...just ask the librarian for help if you need it.  You may also do a search using the League of Conservation Voters  as subject.
