Clean Water

Georgia is home to more than 70,000 miles of beautiful rivers, lakes and streams. These waters are where we fish, swim and boat. They're also where many of us get our drinking water. But our waters are threatened. Environment Georgia is working to protect our rivers and lakes from polluted runoff—the largest source of water pollution in the state. We're also working to safeguard our waters from other threats, including industrial pollution and factory farms.

Save Our State Parks

From mangrove forests to colorful canyons, Georgia's state parks have breathtaking vistas, along with hundreds of fishing and swimming holes, hiking trails and campgrounds.

Yet after nearly a decade of making do with diminishing state support, the budget for Georgia’s parks is being slashed nearly in half. We must protect our natural treasures, such as Sweet Water Creek State Park, which are in danger of losing resources or being shut down.

That's why Environment Georgia is calling on Gov. Sonny Perdue to stop cuts to our park’s funding and restore past funding. Our parks need long-term support to maintain and restore protection.
