It takes independent research and tough-minded advocacy to win real results for our environment -especially when powerful interests stand in the way of environmental progress.

That's the idea behind Environment California. We focus exclusively on protecting California's environment, speaking out and taking effective action to improve the quality of our natural environment and our lives.

By using these time tested tools of advocacy we are able to have an impact on the biggest environmental issues of the day.
