Environment America is a federation of state-based, citizen-funded environmental advocacy organizations. Their professional staff in 26 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
In 2007, the leaders of environmental groups in 26 states joined forces to form Environment America. Together, they’re building on the progress their advocates and activists have made at the state and local level—from laws that promote solar and wind power, to cuts in the pollution that causes global warming, to new protections for millions of acres of wilderness and open space. With grassroots support and action across the country, a team of professional researchers and issue experts, advocates at work in 26 state capitols, more advocates at work in Washington, D.C., a spirit of cooperation and an orientation toward real results, Environment America is providing a powerful new force for progress on the environment in our country.
