Hello Family, Friends
and Fellow Green Drinkers!
We need your help to save
our Chesapeake Bay!
As many of you may know, Green Drinksis a monthly happy hour of the eco-minded to connect and share ideas -- all around the world. Since our forte is networking and making connections, the Green Drink groups around the Chesapeake Bay Watershed are reaching out to you for your help.
The Chesapeake Clean Water and Ecosystem Restoration Act of 2009,now working its way through Congress, has been called by many the last, best hope for restoration of a great national treasure. The powerful grass roots networking of Green Drinks can help move this bill along to passage.
As fellow Green Drinkers (and friends and family of) you can add your unique voiceto the fight for restoration of the Chesapeake Bay by sending a note to your congressman or senator in support of this national legislation.
To see this bill pass, we need support from the entire country. After all, every state, every region has its clean water issues and we hope we'll be there to return the favor when you need help. The Chesapeake Bay legislation is important to all Americans because it will impact other bodies of water too.
The Chesapeake is as important and wonderful a national treasure as the Grand Canyon, the Smoky Mountains, the Badlands of South Dakota, the Everglades or Death Valley. It is tied directly to our early history as a nation, and is the largest estuary in the country. It is the heart of our local heritage and it is dying.
