Barnegat Bay Blitz Doesn’t Better Protect Bay

The New Jersey Sierra Club applauds the hundreds of volunteers that came out today to help clean up Barnegat Bay.These individuals came out because they truly care about preserving and protecting the Bay today and for future generations.Unfortunately, the policies of the Christie administration undermine the health and Barnegat Bay and result in more pollution. We have seen conditions get worse while the Governor is weakening protections for the Bay.He vetoed three important bills that would help clean up the Bay.He is weakening critical DEP water quality rules that would protect the Bay while promoting development around the Bay that will add more pollution.Instead of coming up with real polices to clean up the water going into the Bay, the Christie Administration is more concerned about photo ops and press releases than putting in place better protections. .... ...more

Hydraulic Fracturing, better known as fracking, which injects millions of gallons of water mixed with toxic chemicals, into the ground horizontally breaking up the bed rock to obtain natural gas. This may be one of the biggest risks to our water and our environment. The New Jersey Sierra Club has been working diligently to fight fracking from completely banning fracking in NJ & banning fracking wastewater from coming into our state.

The 100^th coal plant since 2010 -- GenOn Generation Station in Portland, PA -- has announced plans for retirement!

We are winning as city by city, communities are standing up and saying no to coal and yes to clean energy. Public officials and energy utilities are realizing the economics and health problems caused by our addiction to coal just don't add up.

Let's continue this trend by adding more coal plants to this list and to promote a clean energy future!

This plant is the largest source of pollution in Northwest New Jersey causing not only environmental problems, but also affecting the health of the community around the plant. With this terrific news now the people of New Jersey and the country can breathe easier. Not only that, but our efforts have led to the equivalent of 11 million homes powered throughout the nation by clean energy! This amazing milestone, no doubt one of many to come, represents the hard work of our allies and thousands and thousands of concerned residents just like you!

• Fighting for Comprehensive Pollution Regulations

  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has come out with various proposed rules to help protect our environment and our health. These rules include a r*ule limiting the amount of greenhouse gas emission from new power plants. Other EPA proposed rules include regulations to clean up our air and reduce pollution from coal-fired power plants, including the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, reductions in mercury, SoX and NoX emissions from power plants, and regulation of coal ash. The Sierra Club is working extensively educating the public about these rules and making sure that get adopted to ensure we have a clean and healthy environment for years to come.
