In Silent Spring, author Rachel Carson wrote, "those who contemplate the beauty of the Earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts." 

Her words speak to the power of gratitude for the natural world to sustain us, through good times and bad. 

Decades after Silent Spring's publication, Earth's beauty — and the strength we draw from it — continues to endure.

And it’s all thanks to passionate defenders like you, standing up for the environment. In fight after fight… year after year… and decade after decade, we are never deterred. We are determined.

Everyone here at EDF is especially grateful for YOU, John, because you're our source of strength, too.

Thank you for being with us,

EDF Membership Team
