Environment America

Climate change, plastic pollution, wildlife disappearing forever—the damage being done to our planet is heartbreaking. But solutions are all around us: better solar panels, better electric cars, and on and on.

Environment America’s mission is to harness our country’s wealth, technology and imagination to make our world a greener and healthier place.

We build support for clean, renewable energy. We’ve persuaded colleges like Cornell and cities like Atlanta to commit to 100 percent renewable energy.

We campaign against pollution and climate change. We’ve won $250 million in penalties and actions from ExxonMobil and other polluting companies and programs to reduce carbon pollution from California to New Jersey.

We protect wildlife. We won the nation’s first statewide ban of single-use plastic bags in California, a big victory for ocean wildlife.

We do what it takes to turn public opinion and political momentum toward a greener, healthier world.
