Dear Friend, I know, it's harder than ever to decide who to support to make the most positive impact. That's why I'd like to share the "mission magic" behind Green America. And offer you a dollar-for-dollar match and a chocolate covered thank you for your support! You see most national non-profits, including the BIG ones you know and love, move their agenda forward using lawyers, lobbyists, and legislation. Green America doesn't work like other non-profits. We don't focus on laws and regulation to move America forward. Green America focuses on amplifying the demand for a vibrant, healthy, green economy — one that works for everyone. Okay it's not really magical… it just makes a lot of sense. Because no matter who has the majority in Washington… you can use your power as a consumer and investor as a power for good! This year, individuals and business people across our nation have been raising their hands (in droves) to take part in Green America's economic solutions. And, we're getting corporate America to radically change the way it does business – boosting clean energy and agriculture that nourishes people and the planet, and protecting workers worldwide. Americans want clean energy, safe food, fair labor and responsible finance— and we want our voice to be heard. Green America amplifies your voice and provides America the solutions that will move us forward. Sure enough, our economic action has made extraordinary progress in 2019! In honor of our hard work ahead, a group of generous donors have offered a NEW matching gift fund—dollar-for-dollar up to $125,000—through December 31st. Two years ago, when we started our “Hang up on Fossil Fuels” campaign, these companies – some of the biggest energy users on the planet – were at near 0% renewables. Thanks to you, they’re well on the way to switching to 100% clean energy! -
Amazon Web Services achieved 54% clean energy and promised to switch to 100% renewables by 2030 -
T-Mobile is using 95% renewables -
AT&T moved to almost 50% renewables -
Sprint moved to 30% renewables In 2020, Green America will continue to push AT&T, Verizon, and other mega-corporations, including Amazon, to adopt 100% renewable energy.

Together in 2019, we’ve protected millions of people from toxic chemicals, including: - Our campaigns with the electronics industry moved several companies — like Apple and Samsung — to start removing toxic chemicals affecting millions of workers.
- Our newest campaign, “Toxic Textiles,” focuses on the clothing industry—the #2 polluter of the world’s water. We already have the attention of baby clothes maker Carter’s.
And we're moving forward on regenerative agriculture. Thanks to our efforts, farmers and gardeners here in the U.S, Thailand, Australia, Costa Rica and Finland are all joining in our programs to put over 15 million acres into climate-crisis-reversing agriculture! In 2020, we'll ramp up our work by using consumer voices to push food companies everywhere to commit to regenerative agricultural practices that reverse the climate crisis. Let me say that again — we can reverse climate change with restorative, regenerative farming practices. You are a crucial part of our work ahead. As a non-profit, Green America depends on support from passionate people like you. Two-thirds of our operating budget comes from individual contributions — like yours. Together, we can protect people and our precious planet, |
