- Coal Free Future for Washington - moving forward to find the right way to transition Washington beyond coal to clean energy by 2015.
- Reducing Phosphorus Pollution - restricting the sale of phosphorus fertilizer, which pollutes our lakes and rivers.

"Supporting legislators and policymakers who consistently work for the health of the air, water, and land is probably the single most powerful thing an individual can do to protect the environment -- you're not living green if you don't vote green." – Michael Garrity, Pierce Conservation Voters
