From PennFuture (http://www.pennfuture.org):
PennFuture and a group of fellow organizations and community members are launching today Our Pocono Waters Campaign, a regional movement aimed at unifying our community while educating people from all walks of life about the importance of protecting Exceptional Value designated streams, some of which are currently under threat from a group of business interests and developers challenging the highest protection of these pristine waterways.
#OurPoconoWaters is a media, education and engagement campaign, which includes outreach to engage local citizens and community leaders, supported by billboards and digital advertisements in the Poconos. It highlights the many ways in which clean streams and economic development coexist in the Poconos region, one that is known for both its natural beauty and booming tourism industry.
We need YOU to sign our petition at https://pennfuture.salsalabs.org/protectourpoconowaters/index.html. The petition will then be sent to elected officials and business leaders, urging them to vocally support the PA Dept. of Environmental Protection’s Exceptional Value designation of local Poconos streams. The website also offers several ways for you to get involved in the fight for protecting clean streams through attending local events, writing letters to the editor, and more.
Join Our Pocono Waters Campaign today! Sign the petition and we will keep you updated on future actions as we continue the fight for exceptional streams in the Poconos.
