EDF members have been making a difference together for more than 50 years. Here are just a few of the victories we’ve celebrated:
A nationwide ban on the pesticide DDT, saving birds of prey from the brink of extinction.
New U.S. tuna fishing rules that reduced dolphin casualties by 90%.
Phasing out leaded gasoline, leading to a 98% reduction in children’s blood levels of lead.
Nationwide limits on mercury, arsenic and other toxic power plant pollution, projected to prevent up to 11,000 premature deaths.
Historic rules to limit methane pollution from oil and gas sources and dozens of commitments by oil and gas companies to end wasteful, routine methane flaring by 2030.
Our formula for change is simple. First, our teams of scientific, economic and policy experts develop evidence-based strategies designed to make the biggest impact with the greatest chances of success.
The next part all relies on YOU — because without your support, the best ideas in the world would make little impact. Every time you donate to EDF or take action on an issue we’ve alerted you about, you’re helping turn ideas into action.
Please take this opportunity to make an even bigger difference than usual for people and the planet with your gift. For just two days, every $1 you contribute will unlock another $3 in matching funds to turn ideas into meaningful climate action.
Thank you for your commitment to a vital Earth for everyone,
Emily Stevenson
Senior Manager, Online Membership
