Licensing - "ewg verified" is ewg's verification and licensing program that helps consumers identify safer personal care products without having to do research. It is rapidly pushing the market toward the strict ingredient and transparency criteria defined by our team of research scientists. Ewg established standards in the interest of public health and created an ewg verified seal that means a product is free from dangerous chemicals with known negative health impacts, and that product has met ewg's strict, protective standards for these chemicals.an ewg mark for safety and health at point of sale inspires consumers to shop with our standards in mind, and ultimately, shaping consumer habits will drive market change. Our goal is to have marquee brands formulate toward our standards, making it that much easier for consumers to find better alternatives.

Food and agriculture - our conservation program works to protect the source of our food: our soil and water. This includes ongoing projects to protect drinking water from agricultural pollution, and to protect soil from pesticides, erosion and contamination from these same industries. We do this work to protect our natural resources because they are vital and irreplaceable, but also because pollution in our environment inevitably becomes pollution in our bodies. Our goal is to illustrate the connection between the broken u.s. Agricultural system, farm subsidies, the damage being done to our land and health, and the increasing lack of access to healthy food and fresh produce for today's families. Our strategy is designed to address these issues and push u.s. Agriculture in a more sustainable direction that stands up for both the health of our land and our food.
