We all need clean air and clean water to lead healthy lives. Decisions are being made today in Washington and Richmond that will determine the safety of our environment -- including the monumental decision about whether or not to allow industrial uranium production in the Virginia countryside. That's why Virginia Conservation Network and the Virginia League of Conservation Voters are talking our message on the road this summer.

We are pleased to announce a newly added summer workshop in Danville on Aug. 10.  Join us for lunch, and you'll get updates on the looming decisions affecting your health.  Most importantly, you will learn how to get involved and make a difference.
