Description

We were founded right after the first Earth Day in 1970, and are dedicated to mobilizing people around critical environmental issues. Our mission is to be a force for positive environmental change, and to fight for what's needed to protect the environment.

We're a force for positive environmental change, and we fight for what's needed to protect the environment. With over 800,000 activists throughout the United States, Environmental Action works to draw a bright line on the nation's most pressing environmental concerns. From drilling for oil and nuclear power to forest preservation and mountaintop removal mining, we take on the biggest polluters, and work for solutions, not compromises.

The Arnold Arboretum is the first public arboretum in North America and one of the world's leading centers for the study of plants. www.arboretum.harvard.edu

With more than 50 scientific research expeditions all over the world, we unlock potential in people and the environment. www.earthwatch.org Earthwatch sends volunteers on expeditions all over the world, engaging them in scientific field research and education in order to promote the understanding and action necessary for a sustainable environment. Earthwatch Expeditions support ocean health, climate change, habitat & ecosystems, and cultural heritage. Our vision is a world in which we live within our means and in balance with nature.
