Repower America

100 percent renewable electricity

We have enormous untapped power. Here in Minnesota and across America, we can harness the wind and sun to power our future and leave dirty, dangerous energy behind.

We’re calling on President-elect Obama and Congress to renew America with 100 percent clean, renewable electricity and to cut our dependence on oil in half.

Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment

This fall, Environment Minnesota teamed up with a coalition of 200 organizations to ensure passage of the Clean Water, Land & Legacy Amendment on November 4th. The amendment provides dedicated funding to protect clean water, parks and trails, and wildlife habitat.

The result will be $90 million in annual tax revenues beginning in 2010.

Over the summer, and right up to election day, Environment Minnesota educated tens of thousands of voters about the amendment, urging them to vote Yes.

Working Together

Environment Minnesota combines independent research, practical solutions and tough-minded advocacy to win real results for our environment. As part of Environment America, we fight to protect our air, water and open spaces, here in Minnesota, in state capitols across the country, and in Washington, D.C. Join us!
