Before oil and gas companies can start drilling, they are required to put money into a bond that will be used to pay for cleanup of abandoned wells or for failure to meet state mandates. However, these bonds are nowhere near the amount actually required for clean up and is costing Colorado taxpayers millions of dollars while enabling an exploitative and environmentally damaging industry. Listen to the new episode to learn more about financial assurances, bonding, and click below to find out what actions you can take.
The Colorado legislature just wrapped another session, and we're here to fill you in on how their votes impacted our environment and health. Listen to learn how SB 200's veto didn't stop the fight for environmental justice, with HB 1266 and HB 1189 being passed.

Find out below who your representatives are and how they voted on two important environmental bills, HB 1266 and HB 1189.
This episode we're covering the fight to protect Colorado's rivers and streams from pollution.

Sign up below to voice your opposition at the Water Quality Control Commission's June 14 meeting.
