Environmental Defense Fund
2021 by the numbers
This year, YOU played a major role in driving environmental progress. You sent nearly 330,000 messages to Congress and submitted more than 60,000 public comments to EPA and federal agencies.
Thousands of activists took the next step by making a donation. Altogether, you unlocked nearly $5 million in matching dollars throughout 2021. And more than 18,500 Eco Partners donated over $400,000 each and every month.
And your support got results!
By 2030, the U.S. has pledge to cut climate pollution by 50%, cut methane pollution by 50%, and mandate 50% of all new vehicles sold emit zero pollution.
And EDF and our allies helped secure critical funding for conservation and restoration projects around the world, including $1 billion for tropic forest protection, $1 billion to restore the Louisiana coastline, and $15 billion to replace dangerous lead pipes across the country.
From all of us here at EDF, THANK YOU for making all this progress possible in 2021.

We wish you a safe and warm holiday season, filled with pride for what we’ve accomplished this year, hope for what we will accomplish next year, and most importantly: love for each other and for our incredible mother Earth who sustains us.

Warmest wishes,
