ENVIRONMENT AMERICA INC

Conservation: the value of nature is immeasurable, derived not only from the resources it provides but from its inherent beauty. "in wildness," as thoreau put it, "is the preservation of the world." fortunately, we live in the country that created the world's first national parks. We've won policies that have resulted in more protections for open spaces, wild places and wildlife at every level. From winning bans on disposable plastic bags to reaching 670,000 people with our call to ban bee-killing pesticides, from putting nearly 60 million acres of national forest off-limits to logging and new roads to a 20-year moratorium on new mining around the grand canyon. Through our research and public education, we're working to shift more hearts and minds over to this point of view.
