Save the Outer Banks

Today, oil and gas companies — and their champions in the North Carolina General Assembly — are renewing their push to drill off our shores. In fact, our lawmakers recently passed a bill that calls for drilling off Cape Hatteras, which is home to more marine life than most places in the world, and the rest of our beaches. We're redoubling efforts to keep the Outer Banks rig-free.

Save the Blue Ridge Parkway

In the last session, the General Assembly cut land conservation funds by 85%. It also prevented the state from purchasing threatened land along the Parkway. We're urging our leaders in Raleigh to reverse course and protect our Blue Ridge landscapes.

Don't Frack N.C.

Some lawmakers want to lift the state ban on hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," as early as next year. We're working in the General Assembly to protect North Carolina from this dangerous new method of gas drilling.
