John, you're part of something special.

Since 1967, EDF members have fought to safeguard our health against toxic chemicals and pollution, save species on the brink of extinction and find innovative ways to tackle the most pressing environmental issues of our time.

And perhaps the most urgent issue we’ve ever faced is the climate crisis. That’s why EDF is going all in with our planning, resources and campaign efforts to confront it head-on. 

But we can’t do that without your support... so will you make a donation today? 

By donating during our Year-End Match campaign, you'll triple your power to put a cleaner, healthier world within reach. 

We’ve set bold and ambitious goals for the year ahead that need your support, like:
 

• Slashing methane pollution from the oil and gas sector - the fastest, most cost-effective way to slow global warming in the near term;
• Cutting carbon pollution from transportation and electricity; and
• Harnessing the power of nature to protect our communities against ever-increasing climate-related threats.

I know we can succeed at making real, lasting progress on these key priorities in the year ahead.

How can I be so sure? Because for more than nine years, I’ve witnessed EDF members like you turn ambitious goals into proud accomplishments again and again.

In 2021 alone, we’ve moved forward on bold solutions in the fight against climate change, like:
 

• Cutting our climate pollution in half by 2030. Our carefully researched energy report detailing the concrete steps we can take to halve our climate pollution by 2030 secured the public support of more than 400 global companies.
• Setting a target that by 2030, half of all new vehicles sold in the U.S. will emit zero pollution. EDF President Fred Krupp was with President Biden in Washington, D.C. when he announced this ambitious target. Once again, your tireless grassroots activism together with our expert outreach to influential stakeholders - like auto manufacturers, union auto workers and state officials - provided the perfect one-two punch to notch this victory. 
• Working with governments to protect their tropical forests with the help of $1 billion (and counting) in grant funding. EDF helped establish Lowering Emissions by Accelerating Forest finance (LEAF) to aggressively channel money into tropical forest protection. Nearly two dozen countries, collectively home to more than a billion acres of tropical forest, have already submitted funding proposals.

The best time to support these solutions with a donation is right now. 

Your gift today will have triple the impact, thanks to two generous donors who’ve promised to donate not just $1, but $2 for every $1 you and your fellow members donate between now and December 31. 

So, John: Can we count on your support today? 

Don’t miss out on the chance to make three times the impact - donate now!

Thank you for all that you do to protect the environment, 

Emily Stevenson
Manager, Online Membership

P.S. We've reached the time that scientists have long warned us about – and we’re at the stage when every fraction of a degree of additional warming matters. We're short on time, but the opportunity is enormous. And together, we can meet this moment. Make three times the difference in this fight by donating today.
