Keep Colorado's treasured landscapes safe from irresponsible drilling!

Legislators have introduced amendments to the CLEAR Act that call for increased environmental and safety standards with no more shortcuts, protection for critical wildlife habitat, the full disclosure of all drilling chemicals, and protection for taxpayers so that oil and gas companies shoulder their own risk and pay for their own cleanups.

As our nation turns to onshore drilling to meet its energy needs, we need to be ready to face that increased demand with considered and responsible development. Contact your Representative today and urge them to vote for the CLEAR Act.

Vermillion Basin - One Step Closer to Protection
Vermillion

Vermillion Basin is a spectacular wild and roadless sagebrush basin home to sensitive animal and plant species, ancient petroglyphs, and unparalleled quiet recreation opportunities. After nearly a decade of work to ensure that this amazing landscape is protected, we've come down to the last, most important months!

Please send a message to the Department of Interior and BLM thanking them for their commitment to protecting areas like Vermillion Basin, and urge them not to reverse their decision during the upcoming "protest period".

During CEC's Gala, an anonymous donor generously pledged to match up to $20,000 for any contributions made during the Gala paddleraiser and in the weeks following the event.

We raised $13,500 at the Gala and nearly $5,300 during June and the first half of July, bringing the grand total to $18,840!  Because we have less than $1,200 to go to meet our goal, our donor has offered to continue matching donations until it is reached.
