Hi John,

Every semester, my college advisor would send out an email saying, “There is only one way to win a pie-eating contest: one bite at a time.” It was a timely reminder that no matter how many massive projects we were working on, they all were going to get done step by step. 

EDF is taking our greatest environmental challenges, breaking them down, using data to make an effective and targeted plan and then executing it well. But every step in this process needs dedicated, generous people like you helping us along the way.

You only have until midnight tonight to sign up to become an Eco Partner monthly donor and double your impact for a whole year thanks to the 12-month $2-for-$1 match. That’s three big bites into our effort to tackle climate change!

There are only a few hours left. Please activate your 2024 membership today and help us put long-term plans into action and react quickly to the climate crisis. 

I hope I can count on your support.

Thanks in advance,

Sam Parry
Director, Membership

Happy Halloween, John!

When participating in a race, viewing the whole course seems daunting. But when you break it down and go checkpoint by checkpoint, the race seems much more manageable.

The threats to our environment are similar. They often feel big and looming, but in reality there are many smaller, less daunting pieces that we can take on one by one. 

The experts here at EDF have spent decades breaking down our greatest environmental challenges and building a plan to address them piece by piece — such as ensuring safer chemicals in household items, making food production more sustainable and building a satellite to detect methane and hold polluters accountable.

Plans as big as these need resources and people power to make a meaningful difference. This is where you come in. 

By starting your membership, you’re providing the resources needed to take on environmental threats step by step. Until midnight tonight, when you sign up to become an Eco Partner monthly donor, you will triple your impact for a whole year thanks to the 12-month $2-for-$1 match.

Will you help us turn our plans into action by activating your 2024 membership today?

We have big plans for 2024 and we’re going to need your help to get them done. We are going to push for a nationwide vehicle emissions standard, continue educating state and local leaders about programs in the Inflation Reduction Act and launch MethaneSAT in order to track methane emissions and hold polluters accountable.

You can make a difference driving real, lasting climate progress. When you donate by midnight tonight, your monthly gift will go three times as far to ensure a vital Earth for everyone — one with clean air, a safer climate and thriving ecosystems.

Thanks for being on board,
