Environment America:
Environment America is a federation of state-based, citizen-funded
environmental advocacy organizations. Whose professional staff in 23 states
and Washington, D.C., combines independent research, practical ideas and
tough-minded advocacy to overcome the opposition of powerful special interests
and win real results for the environment. Environment America, the new home of
U.S. PIRG's environmental work, draws on 30 years of success in tackling
environmental problems.
National Environmental Law Center:
NELC takes illegal
polluters to court and develops new policy solutions to protect the
environment. Since its inception, NELC attorneys have won over 80 civil and
criminal cases, forcing polluters to pay to clean up their environmental
damages. For example, NELC filed a Clean Water Act suit against Dow Chemical
Company for unlawful discharges of phosphorus and pesticides. This resulted in
the federal court ordering Dow to pay $1 million in fines and to make
extensive changes to its wastewater treatment system.
For nearly 15 years The Green Life has
supported individuals who choose to live green as a service to themselves,
their communities and their environment. Through their e-newsletters and other
tools, they keep concerned people updated on what's happening throughout the
wider world of green living.
Campaign to Save the Environment:
The Campaign operates over 60
citizen outreach field offices each summer, placing more than 4,000 college
students in grassroots campaign jobs nationwide. Students and citizens working
for the Campaign talk to hundreds of thousands of people a year about
important work being done by the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, the Southern Utah
Wilderness Alliance and other grassroots organizations.
TAC assists neighborhood groups fighting
toxic hazards in their communities. Since 1987, TAC has helped more than 200
groups in their campaigns to clean up toxic waste sites, reduce industrial use
of toxic chemicals, and stop the building of unsafe industrial waste
facilities.
Connecting thousands of green
consumers on-line, ecopledge.com organizes the power of consumers and
investors to encourage corporations to make changes in their damaging environmental policies. For
example, ecopledge.com was a key player in a coalition that recently convinced
Staples to stop using wood from endangered forests in their products and to
set a minimum recycled content for all of their paper products.
Recycling Action
Campaign: Recycling Action works with Massachusetts residents to
pressure corporations, state government, and municipal governments to develop
and implement policies to reduce waste and increase recycling. Recycling
Action provides background information on effective policies, organizing
assistance and a network of activists and experts to assist residents in local
campaigns.
The mission of Free the Planet! is to build
support for environmental protections while empowering students – as the next
generation of leaders – to revitalize the core of the environmental movement.
