Policy Analyst Karen Hobbs of the Natural Resource Defense Council has been on a mission to repeal Bush-era changes to the Clean Water Act for years. In an effort to protect the water that sustains their livelihood, 27 breweries across the nation have signed onto Hobbs’ brainchild, the Brewers for Clean Water Campaign because "cleaner water makes better beer."

This is a perfect example of why energy alternatives are so important.
"If they could just mine responsibly without destroying everything, it'd be a lot better for everyone around them." Alan, a local resident, worries that the coal companies might step in before this wind project can take hold.

a historic home for brook trout. @westvirginiau #wvu #trout #conservation
As referenced in, "The story of WVU and the salvation of a historic home for brook trout," http://wvutoday.wvu.edu/n/2013/09/17/a-bold-plan-the-story-of-wvu-and-the-salvation-of-a-historic-home-for-brook-trout
Close your eyes.
You’re in an ancient spruce forest surrounding a stream. You hear the soft trickle of water moving slowly over pebbles and stones. In the stream called Shavers Fork swims mottled, glimmering brook trout.
They [brook trout] are the symbol that water is the cleanest of clean.
Join this team at WVU as they work with the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources to examine all of the factors that led to warmer temperatures, a wider and shallower stream and other changes that over time threatened the brook trout productivity of this important natural and economic resource.
Experience the Shavers Fork story from industrial development to current scientific advances that are being used to preserve the brook trout habitat.

Conservation, preserving nature, preserving space - a creek flowing through a wild landscape or 112 sq. ft. home that houses a team of adventurers. Conservation is living simply.
Join the Outdoor Research Sidecountry skiers and snowboarders as they traverse the Rockies, towing their tiny house, while searching for an opportunity to lay fresh tracks and a parking lot that they can call "home."
