Great news! The company proposing new commercial nuclear reactors near the Columbia River at the Hanford Nuclear Site just pulled the plug...
TC Energy, the same company behind the Keystone Pipeline, aims to significantly increase the volume of methane gas pumped through the aging GTN pipeline. The results? Increased risks to public health and safety. More fracking. And locking communities into fossil fuels for years to come. Columbia Riverkeeper and partners are actively fighting this proposal.
Featuring the voice of activist and host, Ubaldo Hernández, exploring the intersection of social and environmental justice, public health, and clean water.
We wish Columbia Riverkeeper members a Happy Valentine's Day and will be celebrating our love of nature for a full month.
No matter how long it takes, Columbia Riverkeeper will stand up for cleanup at Hanford. In 2022, we found new and creative ways to hold the federal government accountable for protecting communities and the Columbia River from vast toxic and radioactive contamination in groundwater, soil, and the Columbia’s shore—a legacy of producing plutonium for nuclear weapons.
Columbia Riverkeeper works to protect, restore, & care for the Columbia River.
How we do it:
Protect
We protect Columbia River communities and habitat from new threats, such as fossil fuel export terminals and intensive industrial development.
Restore
We restore our right to clean water and healthy fish by reducing toxic pollution.
Care
We care for the river by providing hands-on opportunities for diverse communities to engage with their river.
You power Columbia Riverkeeper’s vital work for clean water and our climate.
We use legal advocacy and community organizing to stop pollution, fight fossil fuel terminals, save salmon, build stewardship, and clean up Hanford.
