Earthjustice

“It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment.” -- Ansel Adams Earthjustice is the nation’s first and largest nonprofit environmental law organization. Born out of a lawsuit filed in 1965 by the Sierra Club to stop Walt Disney from creating a mega ski resort in the Sierra’s Mineral King valley, Earthjustice is committed to the promise of a healthy world for all. Earthjustice partners with numerous organizations to work pro bono on issues such as climate change, fracking, air pollution and Arctic oil drilling. One of their many pending cases is a suit to force the EPA to act on restricting formaldehyde, a chemical used in wood products and a known carcinogen. Their motto “The Earth Needs a Good Lawyer” says it all. Click here for more info about Earthjustice. |
