Work for a Clean Environment
We're keeping plastic bags out of the Pacific. The single-use plastic bags that pollute the Pacific and harm ocean wildlife are banned in 30 cities on the West Coast, thanks in part to our staff, volunteers and activists. Working with Environment California, Environment Washington and Environment Oregon, we've educated tens of thousands of people about the toxic soup of trash swirling off our coast, spreading the movement for bag bans from city to city and mustered the public support necessary for communities to take steps to stop the waste. |

Promote Healthy Food
We're making kids' lunches healthier. Childhood obesity rates continually rise every year in our country, threatening our youth with a future of heart disease and diabetes. After months of campaigning across the country for U.S. PIRG, we were able to build enough support to get President Obama to pass the Child Nutrition Act. This new law provides thousands more children school-based meal programs that will be more nutritious, providing a brighter, healthier future for our children. We continue this work with U.S. PIRG as we push to end the big taxpayer subsidies for junk food. |
 | Cut America's Oil Addiction
We're putting more electric cars, hybrids and other energy-efficient vehicles on the road. Thanks in part to the public support mobilized by our canvassers, this past year President Obama announced strong new clean car standards that will cut oil use by as much as 23 billion gallons per year. Environmental Action is pushing to cut America's oil use by 50% by 2030, and we're building support and mobilizing activists around the country to urge our leaders to take the next step forward. |
