The Sierra Club Foundation promotes climate solutions, conservation, and  movement building through a powerful combination of strategic  philanthropy and grassroots advocacy. The Foundation is the fiscal  sponsor of Sierra Club’s charitable environmental programs.

 "The Sierra Club is the most enduring and influential grassroots  environmental organization in the United States. We amplify the power of  our 3.5+ million members and supporters to defend everyone’s right to a  healthy world."

NRDC works to safeguard the earth—its people, its plants and animals, and the natural systems on which all life depends.

"We  combine the power of more than three million members and online  activists with the expertise of some 600 scientists, lawyers, and policy  advocates across the globe to ensure the rights of all people to the  air, the water, and the wild. ""

"The Nature Conservancy is a global environmental nonprofit  working to create a world where people and nature can thrive.         

Founded at its grassroots in the United States in 1951, The  Nature Conservancy has grown to become one of the most effective and  wide-reaching environmental organizations in the world. Thanks to more  than a million members and the dedicated efforts of our diverse staff  and more than 400 scientists, we impact conservation in 72 countries  across six continents."         

The Union of Concerned Scientists is a national nonprofit  organization founded 50 years ago by scientists and students at the  Massachusetts Institute of Technology who sought to use the power of  science to address global problems and improve people’s lives.

Their Mission
"The Union of Concerned Scientists puts  rigorous, independent science to work to solve our planet's most  pressing problems. Joining with people across the country, we combine  technical analysis and effective advocacy to create innovative,  practical solutions for a healthy, safe, and sustainable future."

 "Our mission is to advance strong policy and action to reduce  greenhouse gas emissions, promote clean energy, and strengthen  resilience to climate impacts. A key objective is a national  market-based program to reduce emissions cost-effectively. We believe a  sound climate strategy is essential to ensure a strong, sustainable  economy."

" We know climate change is happening, and we know that it is caused by our actions.

The Earth's atmosphere is warming, faster than it probably ever has.  In some cases weather patterns, climates and natural environments are  changing quicker than wildlife or people can adapt.

So many of the world's biggest challenges, from poverty to wildlife  extinction, are made more difficult by climate change. And things will  get worse if we do nothing. But we can do something about it.

We have the knowledge and the technology to reduce our impact on the  climate, and ease the pressures on the world's most vulnerable places,  people and wildlife. We just need to make it happen."

"Hemp the Climate is a pioneering non-profit advocacy organization and think tank that provides strategic advice to businesses and collaborates with multilateral and non-governmental organizations to accelerate the use of industrial hemp for climate resilience. As a group of innovators, hemp and sustainability experts, we help industry stakeholders reduce their environmental impact and improve their business positioning through creating more sustainable supply chains, based on industrial hemp. At the same time, with the help of partnering organizations, research institutes and academics we work on the R&D and monetization of the plants environmental benefits such as soil regeneration or CO2 sequestration."

"Cool Earth is the non-profit organization that works alongside  rain-forest communities to halt deforestation and its impact on climate  change.

Half of the world’s rain-forest has been  destroyed in the last 40 years.  And, contrary to the headlines,  rain-forest continues to be lost at a faster rate than ever. But it’s not  too late. Cool Earth believes the rain-forest can be saved. We just need  a new approach.

That’s why we don’t create reserves or put up fences.  We don’t buy  land.  Instead, we put local people back in control of their forest.

Local people stand to lose the most from deforestation but the most  to gain from its protection.  As such, they are the forest’s best  possible custodians.  That’s why all Cool Earth partnerships are  community-owned and led – an approach that research is continually  proving to be the most effective way to keep rain-forest standing.

By developing local livelihoods, our mission is to end the cycle of  deforestation entrenching villages into further poverty.  Creating  strong, self-determining communities – not dependency.

We are also the only charity that works solely where the threat to  the forest is greatest, on the front-line of deforestation.  And each of  our partnerships forms a shield to make the neighboring forest  inaccessible to loggers – saving millions of acres of further forest."

   "We're an international movement of  ordinary people working to end the age of fossil fuels and build a world  of community-led renewable energy for all.

Here's how we get there:

Accelerate the transition to a new, just clean energy economy by supporting community-led energy solutions.

Stop and ban all oil, coal and gas projects from being built through local resolutions and community resistance.

Cut off the social license and financing for fossil fuel companies — divest, de-sponsor and de-fund."

"Earthjustice is the premier nonprofit public interest environmental law organization.

We wield the power of law and the strength of partnership to protect people’s health; to preserve magnificent places and wildlife; to advance clean energy; and to combat climate change.

We are here because the earth needs a good lawyer.

With more than a hundred attorneys in offices across the country,  Earthjustice pursues three key goals to secure a just, flourishing  world:

The Wild

Our nation’s laws protect the magnificent natural spaces and  wildlife we have inherited from previous generations.  Earthjustice  enforces those laws to protect what we know to be irreplaceable wildlife  and wild places, for this and future generations.

Healthy Communities

We fight for a future where children can breathe clean air, no  matter where they live; where products in our homes are free of toxic  chemicals; and where all communities are safer, healthier places to live  and work.

Clean Energy and Healthy Climate
Earthjustice’s legal victories strengthen the rise of clean  energy, laying the groundwork for the systemic change we must see. At  stake is nothing less than our children’s — and our planet’s — future.

Earthjustice’s decades of success are thanks to strong partnerships  with hundreds of organizations — and hundreds of thousands of  passionate supporters."

“It’s not enough to be against fracking  and dirty fossil fuels, we also have to stand for something. I want to  stand for clean, renewable energy for everyone. ” 

"After seeing the devastation of fracking in neighboring Pennsylvania  with documentary filmmaker Josh Fox, actor Mark Ruffalo joined forces  with local organizers to put a stop to fracking in his home state of New  York.

On his crusade, Mark met Marco Krapels, a businessman with  significant experience in finance and renewable energy. Marco was  inspired by Mark’s idea to promote clean energy and knew from experience  that he could make a compelling business case that clean energy was a  sound investment.

Together, they recruited Mark Jacobson, a scientist and professor at  Stanford University. They asked him, “is it possible for New York state  to run on 100% renewable energy?” Less than 24 hours later, Jacobson  delivered a 30-page report that proved it could be done.

" Greenpeace is a global, independent  campaigning organization that uses peaceful protest and creative  communication to expose global environmental problems and promote  solutions that are essential to a green and peaceful future.

Our History
A group of thoughtful, committed citizens came together in 1971 to  create Greenpeace. A handful of determined activists leased a small  fishing vessel, called the Phyllis Cormack, and set sail from Vancouver  for Amchitka Island in Alaska. Their mission was to protest U.S. nuclear  testing off the coast of Alaska with a brave act of defiance: to place  themselves in harm’s way.

Despite being intercepted by the U.S. Coast Guard, these daring  activists sailed into history by bringing worldwide attention to the  dangers of nuclear testing.

Our Work

That was more than 40 years ago, and in that time, Greenpeace has  indeed changed the world. And we continue to make the world a better  place. Our committed activists and supporters have come together to ban  commercial whaling, convince the world’s leaders to stop nuclear  testing, protect Antarctica, and so much more.

Today, we have grown from a small group of dedicated activists to an  international organization with offices in more than 50 countries. But  our spirit and our mission remain the same. Our fight to save the planet  has grown more serious — the threat of global warming, destruction of  ancient forests, deterioration of our oceans, and the threat of a  nuclear disaster loom large.

Greenpeace is actively working to address these and other threats."
