Texas Drought Project
210-381-4021 16306 Buena Tierra Sam Antonio, Texas 78232 |
We're a year-old, statewide organization that identifies threats to water in Texas, whether that's commodification, fracking, or climate change. Obviously any of these could result in a permanent drought for Texas. Sharon of Bluedaze, reporter Greg Harman of the San Antonio Current, and folks in west-central Texas counties are working to try to wake people up about a new threat to Texas water--a new shale development. |

Texas Oil & Gas Accountability Project
817-731-2787 , Texas |
Comprised of local citizen activists, and staff and board members of EARTHWORKS, our goal is to address needed oil and gas policy reforms in Texas on the state and local level. Texas OGAP operates through a steering committee of people directly affected by oil and gas development, attorneys, and elected officials. We anticipate broadening our efforts to include specific committees around water and air impacts, landowner rights, and other issues central to responsible natural gas extraction and transport. |

Clean Air Council
(215) 567-4004 135 S. 19th Street, Suite 300 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103 |
Clean Air Council is a member- supported, non-profit environmental organization dedicated to protecting everyone's right to breathe clean air. The Council works through public education, community advocacy, and government oversight to ensure enforcement of environmental laws. The Council was founded in 1967 by a group of forward-looking community leaders, policy makers, and progressive business leaders. Headquartered in Philadelphia, the Council made a name for itself by the mid-1970s as the result of two major achievements: establishing and distributing a daily regional air quality index report (still used to this day); and forcing Pennsylvania to implement its vehicle emissions testing program. The Council has now grown to include 8,000 members and expanded its programmatic focus to include children’s environmental health, energy, climate change, waste and recycling, and transportation. The Council has also established an indoor air quality resource center for the public and holds the Philadelphia area’s largest Earth Day event, the Annual 5k Run for Clean Air. |
