organization with our written permission. Contact us for more information.)


		We encourage everyone to choose an environmental organization and contribute generously. Also, take direct action. Both in your personal life by reducing your environmental impact and by addressing environmental issues through contacting state and federal representatives. Educate yourself so that you can educate others about sustaining the environment that makes it possible for us and our children to live harmoniously on this planet.

			NRDC - The National Resource Defense Council is one of the nation’s most effective environmental action groups. They work diligently to protect all life on earth and the environmental systems which sustain us. They do this primarily through law, science, and political lobbying.
	The Wall Street Journal reports "NRDC is by many accounts, the most effective lobbying and litigating group on environmental issues." The Take Action section of their website has many ideas about things you can do to help protect our environment.
				Nature Conservancy - The mission of the Nature Conservancy is to preserve the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters needed for life to survive. The Nature Conservancy works through a variety of methods from conservation planning within communities and governments, through cooperative partnerships, and through the purchase of land.
	The Nature Conservancy has protected more than 117 million acres of land and 5,000 miles of river around the world.

Their primary mandate is to assume a law enforcement role as provided by the United Nations World Charter for Nature and they are committed to the eradication of pirate whaling, poaching, shark finning, unlawful habitat destruction, and violations of established laws in the World's oceans. Sea shepherds methods can include radical confrontation such as intercepting poachers, removing illegal nets from the sea, and hunting down and ramming pirate whaling ships.
	They also work through boycotts and through documentation and public awareness. Captain Paul Watson, one of the original founders and directors of Greenpeace, left that organization to found Sea Shepherd in 1977. He is described as “the world's most aggressive, most determined, most active, and most effective defender of wildlife."

	They work though sound science to secure changes in government policy, corporate practices, and consumer choices that will protect and improve the health of our environment globally, nationally, and in communities throughout the United States. In short, UCS seeks and promotes great change in humanity's stewardship of the earth.
					The Worldwatch Institute - The Worldwatch Institute is a leading source of information on the interactions among key environmental, social, and economic trends.
