Anonymous,

Every day, it seems like our environment is under a new threat. And many of the challenges we face will not be easy to solve. But one thing I'm so grateful for are concerned people like you willing to take action to protect our planet.

Today, I'd like to invite you to take a short 5-question priorities survey so we can get to know you better. We know you're busy, which is why we'd like to hear from you directly what you're most interested in.

The challenges that our planet faces are complex. That's why Environment America and our national network are working across a wide range of issues, but these issues all drive to the same goal -- protecting our air, water and the places we love.

Here are just a few of the campaigns we're working on right now:

• Saving the bees by winning federal, state and local restrictions on the toxic pesticides that are killing them. This year, we're building support behind legislation introduced by Rep. Earl Blumenauer (Ore.) that would ban the worst of these pesticides, called neonics.

• Reducing plastic pollution to protect our rivers and oceans and the wildlife that call them home. State by state, city by city, we're helping to pass bans on the worst single-use plastics, including polystyrene foam cups and food containers and plastic grocery bags.

• Persuading more cities, communities and states to commit to 100 percent renewable energy. It's a bold goal, but we know how to win. We've already made progress, winning 100% renewable commitments in four states, including California and New Mexico, along with a growing number of campuses and cities.

Will you tell us a little more about what you care most about? Your opinion matters to us -- because it's supporters like you who make our work possible, to advocate for clean air and water and to protect the places we love. We'll read every single response submitted to us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your commitment to protecting our air, our water and the places we love.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Ed Johnson
President
