Pure Farms, Pure Waters
Factory farms cram thousands of animals into warehouse style buildings, creating one of the greatest sources of water pollution in the country, endangering public health and putting family farmers out of business. The cornerstone of our work is a litigation strategy intended to force compliance with the intent and letter of the Clean Water Act and other environmental laws. Our legal approach is complemented by strong educational efforts and grassroots mobilization.
