Hi 



The Bull City has been an environmental leader over the years -- on curbing global warming, on recycling.


But now, Mayor Bill Bell isn't just opposing new rules to protect Jordan Lake and New Hope Creek, he and the city council are trying to recruit other local governments in the Triangle to join him. [1]
That's not just bad news for Jordan Lake -- it's also bad news for New Hope Creek, which feeds into the part of the reservoir that Durham officials contend isn't worth protecting [2].
Isn't worth protecting?

Send an e-mail to Mayor Bell. Let him know you support protecting Jordan Lake.

This just isn't right. Durham officials have long known that they'd need to reduce pollution from their wastewater treatment plants, since both state and federal laws require them to do so. 

The Mayor's actions simply don't jive with his history, and with Durham's history, of leading when it comes to the environment.

Send an e-mail to Durham Mayor Bill Bell. Let him know you support protecting all of Jordan Lake.
