I am always amazed at the range and frequency of the emails of environmental issues Friends of Earth takes on. They are all so important so if you can take a little time each day and give feed back on them and to donate generously this will aid the fight to save wildlife, your health, the air we breathe the water, and land. I give monthly but you can give using a donor advised fund or each time. You will feel good about what you do. This is one of the major ways I use my money. Please share with friends

I have never read an email from Friends of the Earth that I didn't agree with. I can see them earnestly fighting to save our wildlife and protect our land from fracking and our communities from pollution .We can't trust our government to do it.....there are too many large corporations and their profits involved. I sign everything I can from Friends of the Earth because I believe in them.

I have learned many things by reading their petitions. The most significant was learning about Paraquat insecticide causing Parkinson’s! My grandfather was a farmer in SWGA. He died in 1977 from Parkinson’s! Even though I have no way of telling weither he used it I am convinced it caused him to have it! Always wondered Why? How?
It also gives me away to support endangered species like wolves!

I am writing to express my profound gratitude and admiration for the incredible work Friends of the Earth (FOE) does. Their dedication to protecting and preserving our planet is truly inspiring, and the impact of their efforts cannot be overstated.
Every initiative they undertake, every campaign they lead, and every voice they amplify contributes to a healthier, more sustainable world. The tireless efforts of Foe's team to combat climate change, protect wildlife, and promote environmental justice are vital to the well-being of our planet and all its inhabitants.

Their work reminds us that we all have a role to play in safeguarding our environment. The planet needs champions like them, who are not afraid to take a stand and fight for a better future. Their passion and commitment are making a real difference, and for that, I am deeply thankful.
Furthermore, Friends of the Earth is involved in numerous wildlife conservation projects aimed at
protecting endangered species and their habitats.
Here are some key initiatives:
Endangered Species Protection: They work on projects to protect species threatened by human activities, such as habitat destruction and climate change.
Habitat Restoration: Friends of the Earth collaborates with national and international organizations to restore and preserve natural habitats. This helps ensure that wildlife has safe and healthy environments to thrive in.
Wildlife Conservation Volunteer Projects: They offer volunteer opportunities for people to get involved in hands-on conservation work, contributing to the protection of various species and ecosystems.
Grassroots Campaigns: The organization mobilizes grassroots efforts to advocate for stronger wildlife protection laws and policies. This includes campaigns to stop wildlife crime and illegal trade.
Climate Crisis Mitigation: By protecting wildlife and their habitats, Friends of the Earth also contributes to combating the climate crisis. Healthy ecosystems play a crucial role in carbon sequestration and maintaining biodiversity.
These efforts are vital for ensuring the survival of many species and maintaining the balance of our ecosystems. Friends of the Earth's dedication to wildlife conservation is making a significant impact on the planet.
Please promote Friends of the Earth for being the beacon of hope and the relentless advocates that our world so desperately needs!

I mean every word of this!

If you want to help, friends of the earth is your one stop shop! They are actual friends of the earth. They help everything on this earth that was gifted to us that unfortunately some have abused. They help the land, the animals the bees that we need for food. The water that we need to live, the poisons that hurt us and our earth they are fighting to eliminate. If you can think of one thing that you care deeply about, I bet they are fighting for it. I'm telling you, you can't go wrong supporting Friends of the earth. Look at what they stand for, they fight, fight and fight some more, there are plenty of charities out there that I want to help and I always have friends of the earth as number one because they fight for all of them that is important.

The organization is good but the need to look deeper. Just going after big companies is only a part of the problem. The construction of homes on farm lands and building more homes when we have a water shortage is another part of the problem. Stop allowing illegals in the country and we would not need more homes.

I think that you are one of the best if not thee best. You are right on top of everything. I admire your work and your petitions and all the hard work that all the people there are doing and very, very little of this is reported in the mainstream news media or even on YouTube but you guys tell it like it is and now it has been years since I have seen a butterfly and that makes me sad but more worried for the butterflies. I do see a few or one honey bee occasionally but that is about it. There is no lack of mosquitoes or house flies; but the really good insects are suffering. They could've helped the situation a long time ago by stopping neonics as well as glyphosate but it is an uphill battle. Thank you for all that you do. And the hunting and other ways of killing the Gray wolf, the Mexican gray wolf, grizzly bears, and beavers is so horrible but thank you so much for helping me to stay right on top of it.

This company is the most petitioning of agricultural malfeasance I have ever known. They have never bothered me for anything I did not elicit. I love the company and their work, cannot hardly say how much good that they do: If Friends of the Earth was not around, we would have chemical companies and agricultural privateers running rough all over us, family farms, consumers.

They are very consistent with their campaigns. I have signed many petitions to try and get glyphosates and neonicotinoids out of insecticides.

As young as 3, I roamed the woods behind our house! Buttons, my cousin's collie would usually accompany me! Within another 2 years, developers had denuded my forest! The stream and ponds were mostly bulldozed under! But we would hike in the shadow of Hawk Mountain, 90 miles NW of Cherry Hill, NJ. Our family tradition of hiking can be traced over 300 years, to Germany! I have canoed and kayaked, since age 13! At age 70, I still have a strong love and affinity for nature!

I believe in the mission of saving our planet. Each time that significant climate changes cause catastrophic events, each time that a species that is bordering extinction, each toxin that threatens our health, each source of pollution that contaminates our water supply and causes endocrine disorders, neurological diseases and cancers, we are required to turn our attention to and answer our call to action.

Friends of the Earth are acting on our behalf to do the hard work of raising awareness and advocating for legislature change to protect you and me, and our future family members. We are not a self-sustaining species; humans need to ensure that the circle of life (plants, animals, microbes) continues.

Please support this organization. Be the change that we need in this world. In doing so, you save us all. Thank you.

I have been associated with Friends of the Earth since 1992. It is an environmental organization whose leadership and staff understand that progress on the environment will be fleeting if we do not secure democracy on every front in the U.S. Friends of the Earth pushes the envelope, seeking the correct solution for environmental problems, not the easy answers. FoE has become much larger, in terms of campaigns, staff and budget, in the years I have been a part of the organization. I am proud to be a part of Friends of the Earth.

Friends of the Earth are just what the name says. An organization that cares about nature, wildlife and climate. Now, as we face biodiversity collapse, climate emergency and various unsolved pollution issues (such as plastic pollution and widespread use of bee-killing pesticides), orgs like FotE and their eco-initiatives are invaluable.

If you want to keep our fragile planet suitable for living, join Friends of the Earth. Everybody's help is needed. We need a billion eco-activists to stop the madness of global destruction.

Working to preserve the lives of those who cannot speak for themselves is to me holy work. Our planet is crying out for people to stand up, pay attention, and speak out. Friends of the Earth, keeps us informed and offers us all a way of being informed and alerted to present crises that arise.

This organization makes it easy to take a stand for the planet. It’s been the most consistent and reliable over the years. The petitions for environmental causes are presented in a concise and easy to understand manner. For those of us who want to make a difference but don’t have the time to spend reading every detail about complex issues, this is the best way to do it.

I always wanted to be a conservationist, and fought my parents to go to college and major in Geology. This was because in those days, the "environmental" field didn't exist; there were only a handful of "old white men" who were known as "Naturalists". When I was a little girl, I met Russell Train, who had just left the Supreme Court to become the head of the newly-created EPA. I tugged at his pant-leg and said "I want to help save nature, too! Please, let ME do something!" He laughed at me, patted my head, and said "Go get educated, little girl." My mother laughed at me and said "I'll remind you of this when you marry a nice lawyer or doctor and have BABIES." My father said "Not with YOUR bad Math grades." So I did it on my own. But after earning a Masters in Environmental Studies from Yale, and working in the field for a few years, the Recession hit, and young guys discovered the field. I was cut out of it, and couldn't get a job, even thought towns invited me to apply for them, ADMITTING that I scored highest on the exams and was better qualified and did better work than any of the other applicants. "But we want to hire this fellow, who's done other jobs with us for years, and whom we can help along," they'd say. So I became a teacher, instead, to support my husband. Now I'm 76, my husband is increasingly frail, and I can't get back into the field. I was "aged out" of my last teaching job, and my town's conservation commission and other environmental groups (which I spearheaded in creating) have moved on. With nothing but my back yard to work on, I still sign every petition and letter I can to support the environment. Friends of the Earth gives me a chance to do this. Its staff grew up in a world where The Environment is foremost in every schoolchild's mind, where women as well as men can find jobs and make meaningful protection a reality. "Apex Predators" have been surpassed by "Keystone Species" in our awareness, and now even the politicians are leaping in to save our world. I feel very jealous, as I can no longer go out and get my own hands muddy in the cause. There's no longer a need for me to teach field science to children during my holidays from teaching other subjects. But the world is a healthier place, now that everyone is coming up with great ideas. I just read that instead of wailing over the death of turtle grass for the manatees and the rest of the marine ecosystem, people are now PLANTING it, in newly accessible environments where it can thrive as well as in places where it's died out. DUH!!! I used to plant marsh grasses, to control shore erosion and compensate for marsh die-back, and teach kids to do it. So now others have rediscovered that this strategy is possible. Anyway: in the time I have left, I will continue to support others' efforts to save our planet, and rejoice that my beloved natural world will have a chance at surviving the human race.

I am a totally committed environmentalist who tries to set a lifestyle model for the universal personal sacrifice that is direly needed to (even) begin to "make a dent" in the environment-destroying "human" legacy of the (especially) past ≈ 150 years. I applaud your emails, and poignant appeals and, with hope, sign each one of your petitions. However, I find that your good efforts and intentions (despite your relatively small size and disunion from like causes) are gravely undermined by separatism: that is, you (+ the many other noble causes) apparently, fail to realize that your/our environmental remediation cause(s) could become an irresistible juggernaut were you/we to join with the myriad other similar/related causes--forming one single mega-organization. To such a single-minded/purpose group, many people (including me) would be far more likely to donate large amounts of their resources toward relevant goals and objectives. This splintered (among multiple causes) approach is clearly not faring well as to the above stated goals and issues including, but not limited to: definitively ending the use of fossil fuels, petrochemicals, and the murderous, ubiquitous plastics, the rescue of habitat and the rapidly failing animal and plant species eco-support system and, especially, the curtailment of most human activity, namely moratoria on birth, travel, material consumption, industrial production, AND the fostering of a simpler, localized lifestyle for the bulk of humankind--for the duration. Thank you for your consideration. br Member of the General Public

I am a single person but over the years I have been able to rescue animals that have come my way. When I was 13 I rescued a baby squirrel. When I was 19 I rescued a baby duckling that had been thrown into a small pond in Central Park --it was in a bag. I talked with a gamekeeper and then brought the duckling home to my apt and rehabilitated it and then brought it back to the gamekeeper who pronounced it strong and well. I found an abandoned dog and took it home and spent 3 months looking for a new home and found one. I found a small stunned bird on the sidewalk and took it inside and revived it. I live in an apt. building that has milkweed for monarch butterflies ... and there is a hummingbird feeder in my front garden. These are all very simple activities. I just don't walk on by when a creature needs my help.

Friends of Our Planet,
I'm writing to express how strong my feelings have become in light of the consistent decline that we are witnessing environmentally, ecologically, and in terms of the earth's changes in relation to atmospheric conditions, tides, melting, etc. our earth has been plundered long enough. We have gone way beyond gathering and hunting what we NEED to survive. Now we are squeezing the very essence of life out of our land, destroying immense numbers of species who are quickly becoming extinct. We are honing in on illegal and ruthless behaviors of persons who abuse animals, marine life. Big corporate structures and even major health institutions are involved in needlessly testing and then killing animals, when there are now more advanced non-animal technologies that will serve this purpose. From wolves, to grizzlies, to baby turtles, manatees, animals too countless to name here, we are destroying the essence of life. Everything is connected. We will be next. Take up the charge and do even one thing to help--write a letter to leadership, tell others, read labels more carefully, shop wisely, become more active in saving life. I have now committed myself to this effort and hope you will join me, Sincerely, Kathryn Madden, Ph.D.

Even though I rarely can afford to donate to this organization, they keep me in their loop. Well done and more steady efforts to come, no doubt !

Friends of the Earth does a great job advocating for the environment and keeping me updated about its work. I particularly appreciate being notified about situations that threaten wildlife, such as bees, butterflies, bears and wolves, due to governmental or industry actions, so that I can take action. As the result of the information I receive, I write to my Congressional representatives and others as well as notify my friends, family and contacts in social media to urge them to do the same. Without Friends of the Earth's vigilance and expertise, I wouldn't know how best to act. This is a charity that I'm very comfortable endorsing.

Friends of the Earth is one of the great organizations to come out of the Environmental Movement of the mid-20th century. It was founded by the legendary David Brower (read about him in John McPhee's Conversations with the Archdruid). While not a massive organization FOE is massively effective in what it does. And as the old saying goes, "Eternal Vigilance is the price of liberty" -- which is very true now as the USA - both parties - are starving the public lands, privatizing publicly funded assets like campgrounds and reservation systems, and now floating the idea of completely privatizing the national park service. So if you value public lands, a healthy ecosystem, and a shift of tax money from privatization and wasteful military spending to the parks and forests - or simply a healthy environment - FOE is for you.

FoE regularly keeps me apprised of their many, effective, pro-environment activities and consistently (but not insistently) offers me opportunities to help them help our beleagured planet.

I support literally dozens of environmental and animal welfare organizations and Friends of the Earth is one I never ignore. That says a lot, because my Inbox is inundated with petitions and donation appeals daily, seemingly hourly. So I delete the lion's share just to maintain my sanity -- and I'm a staunch supporter of these orgs!

But FoE doesn't contact me until / unless they need me to DO Something WITH Them.
(Too) few activist orgs engage their supporters like that -- and as a part-time copywriter who has studied these things, I can only applaud FoE's capability on that too.

I'm very glad Friends of the Earth is on guard and helping me protect my kids' only home planet for the future of every living thing.

I’ve been involved with protecting our planet for over 50 years. My passion is to assist in educating that everything is about ecosystems! If it’s the stream that runs through my neighborhood, the marshland that replaced where they built the new high school, Death Valley desert - each ecosystem, large or small, is an interdependent group of species - take one of them away and everything changes, some will die. Why are wolves important to their ecosystem, or a spider, or the waterfall? And of course - the Earth is one glorious Ecosystem. Friends of the Earth does the best job of using our contributions to keep these ideas in Congress as well as in everyone’s conversation. They give us all hope.

Yes i got ambition to save the world. And we are by the Tipping Points and our own extinctioin, and since then I have been nailed to my chair. I used to write on a blog, and I thaught people wanted to survive, ,but most of them are not able to think or do right.
I have a Facebook-side: Biodiversity variety and loss.
The only solutions are to change the Economy, and free trade deals that gives money a higher value than the Nature, because these forces have driven us outside our own borders.
I follow Positive Pengar Sweden, having an excellent solution for the Economy, Samuel F Kazén, said that it should be translated into English, and then I will send it. It don't have to replace the economy, it is the same kind of Econmy as today, but only the Central bank will have the role of "printing" the public money.
I work against Ecocide, for End Ecocdie Sweden. and for raising Ecocide law as the same International Law as for Crime war: https://www.stopecocide.earth/
But that must be fullfilled just now, not after the Tipping points. We are on the brink of our own Extcinction, and may all good forces now got together, because after it si far to late.
I am really afraid and actions go far too slow.
I tried to Enter Penn's Unviersity this summer, but it got too heavy alone. Cause we have to get a cooperation with the Goverments and Universities and those dealing with the Economy, because of the short time left for save us from Extinciton.
I failed to send it in time to Penn's University, and I feel that was bad and I failed, because I have daughters that i love, and i do love the Wild life, that is all that is of important.
I have wrote a blog: varan-s.se and svar-an.se and I have come to my own limit, it is not meaningfull doing somehing after we have passed the Tipping points, the picture is of my oldest daughter, now i grown up woman.
My daughters and wild life are the maning of my life.
And I can send you my CV and my eduction if you want to. I can do anything to not let the Tipping points ruin our future. Sorry if this was not what you wanted me to write.

Friends of the Earth is a great charity dedicated to helping all animals, butterflies, etc. making our world a better place to live. Without animals, there's not much of a point to live. Without butterflies, there is reduced to no produce so we have no life either as we can't eat. I find FotE to be reputable. Even though they need money to help out and preserve animal life, they are not like some charities that are continually basically guilting you into giving.

The Friends of the Earth organization has championed a large variety of ecological and environmental causes. It has supported animals facing the threat of extinction (e.g., manatees, monarch butterflies), animals cruelly and excessively/unnecessarily hunted (e.g., grizzly bears, wolves), natural habitats (e.g., the Amazon rainforests; the Arctic), and many others. It has organized campaigns addressed not only to decision-makers in Washington, D.C. (or various states), but also to the heads of various corporations, to stores carrying destructive products, and to banks supporting corporations that damage ecosystems. All told, this is a remarkable group, and I encourage people to support it!

I thoroughly believe in the work of "Friends of the earth" and the splendid articles they present. It is a fact that God put us on Earth to manage the planet and all of its inhabitants. This means all manner of life and it has been the expressed goal to call attention to the mismanagement of this divine responsibility. We (the majority of humanity) is on a collision course with extinction, and I am not talking about the animals which are under our care, but the animals we call (human) who better wake up and support organizations like "Friends of the earth" and others in the pursuit of excellence.

I have always been in love with fauna and flora. Since very young I have this connection with all creatures perhaps because my grandmother came from a rural farm own by her parents before she moved to the city in the 1940's Basque country and she had a passion for birds that she rescued and it didn't matter if were making a mess in the house because the love for them was bigger and more important, though I have to admit wasps from Spain and spiders did scared me until I educated myself and realise all creatures, not matter which one, have an important mission and role in this planet and the more diversity the healthier, stronger and sustainable will be the ecosystem of the world but sadly if we don't change we could loose that.

If we want to maintain live in earth, we need to start thinking more consciously when it comes to the state of the planet. Why desertification is growing and the answer seems simple, humans are using too many resources from natural habitats and we aren't giving back to nature to valance the act, no living ecologically in the way we have engineer our homes and structures which are separating us from nature. The thought that God will provide for us is true only if we respect and start giving what we take so this way many other generations could enjoy this beautiful planet, which is our only true home and can't no longer be mistreated like we do because is a path for self destruction.

Endless consumerism, irresponsible use of resources and energy, miss management of the land and farms need to be reform in a kinder way for a beautiful world which is going to be a tough as our lives have to become really different, a change to the right direction to be in touch with our spiritual side that makes us happy and harmonious with in the natural world and not get separate from the truth.

This issue is very important to me because I have a son which years back I joked with him by asking where all the children have gone? perhaps they have turn into night creatures but sadly his generation seems they've lost that curiosity and enthusiasm with the natural world, lucky my son is been homeschooled and we have a lot of time being outside enjoying the time for observing and studding nature which he loves when he is in the outdoors with also very few friends but its sad to see many of his peers no longer we seeing playing freely in the outdoors, as in my generation, instead computer games and phones are been replace which we must fightback for the love of humanity and the planet.

Friends of the earth is an environmental organization that is focused: saving the bees has been a major push; without pollinators life on this planet will end, and that is not an exaggeration. They are also working very hard to push back against fossil fuels, which are destroying our planet. We have clean alternatives that could be in place at a much larger scale, but as always, private interests are involved. They aren't extremists, just diligent people working daily to promote wise, long-term practices. Give their next email a quick read.

Everyone should listen to young leaders like Greta Thunberg, Who has the right amount of Passion, understanding, and courage to stand up against lazy, liar, driven politicians and industrialist which have no interest in protecting our environment from climate change, plastics in the oceans, pollution of the air, water, food, they don't care about tomorrow or the children who will inherent the world left behind. Their future is in jeopardy if we, nation fail to act and act now to change the path we are going or their will be no future for them so we should listen to people with courage like Greta, standing up for all humanity to save the planet and us from those who just want to satisfy their own greed., and not our future.

The 7th generation deserves to have an environment that is clean and a natural environment full of varied species and flora.
There have been countless extinctions just in my lifetime. At this rate the 7th generation will have nothing but a polluted mess and only pictures of the past.
For those who do not know who the 7th generation is it is your great grandchild's great grandchild.
I support Friends of the Earth for them, the 7th generation. You should too. They are the future and we in the present should base our consumption with their needs in mind.

What can I say? Friends of the Earth are exactly what it says on the box, friends and supporters of the only Earth we've got, and the sort of people that we all need if our world is to survive into the next century.
For over two centuries humans have been mistreating and abusing our earth and over-using its bounty, and the earth has had enough. We are almost at the point of no return and if we are to leave a planet upon which our great-grandchildren and their descendants can survive we need organisations such as Friends of the Earth as a rallying point round which we can gather and co-ordinate our fight for our only earth's survival.
It's no use turning to Governments, if they are like ours they are either totally uncaring about any life beyond their own, or they falsely believe their wealth and status will protect them while our children are destroyed around them.
Which is why I believe in this organisation and support them, and will do so till we finally have an earth upon which our future generations will be able to live.

can support every initiative as much as many would like to. But just pick one or two. For my part I am a beekeeper and love the sweet fringe benefits. In addition I support cleaner oceans donating and collecting donations on my birthday(June 22) every year. In so doing I am supporting a ban on ocean dumping recognizing that we can recycle/re-purpose just about everything. Further recycling plastics protects our air from harmful pollutants released from the refinement of plastics from petroleum products etc. So, as you can see, by supporting one or two you indirectly support many facets of working for a cleaner healthier environment. Join me. Just do something.

I began working with and representing the traditional Hopi Elders in 1981 and have represented them at the United Nations. Here is their prophecy of what we are up against, published in BOOK OF THE HOPI in 1963 when President Kennedy was desperately trying to end the Cold War: "The United States will be destroyed, land and people, by atomic bombs and radioactivity." To be followed by this from Book of Revelations: "The time has come..to destroy those destroying the Earth." This verse has reference "to the destroying of those who will be destroying this Earth with nuclear weapons..we have the capacity to destroy ecosystems on a global scale." Greta Thunberg, then, is right: "Our house is on fire.. We must change almost everything in our current societies. I don't want your hope. I don't want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day. And then I want you to act. I want you to act as if the house is on fire. Because it is."
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also predicts "our planet is going to hit disaster if we don't turn this ship around" and says the world has only "one shot" left to prevent total destruction. These two sibyls are our canaries in the mine; are we going to listen to their warning? We still have time but it grows shorter literally by the day.

I am a supporter of FoE. I believe that Global Warming will be the death of most of us if continued. Most Governments do too little to stave this off. I want more to understand this. The majority of folk seem not to understand their own role in reducing their own carbon footprint eg reducing meat consumption, recycling all they can do, Using the other side of a discarded sheet for printing things that have no reason to object to rubbish on the back for example, Giving to others such paper waste for reuse. A significant number of us put every bit of rubbish in their black bin because they cannot bother to re-cycle. Many do not have a compost heap that keeps carbon from becoming CO2. Do not burn rubbish again keeping carbon bound
Having solar and heat panels on the roof to reduce fossil fuel based electricity down.

As a result of the Friends of the Earth very effective campaign to save bees, I planted a large pollinator garden last year. This had many side effects in addition to hosting bees and butterflies. Another effect was that I became a dedicated gardener, and I must say that gardening is a very effective stress reducer and a wonderful way to exercise my 83 year old body. Weeding and planting and digging and lugging soil around and composting and shredding beat any exercise class I've ever been in. Yet another effect was noticing how climate change has had an effect on plants. In this, my second year of the garden, nearly every plant bloomed later than was expected, thus the pollinators had less time this summer to pollinate. I checked with a master gardener who said that the blooming season was indeed later than usual this year. Gardeners notice changes and this can be useful all around. I am grateful to Friends of the Earth for bringing attention to the plight of bees and all of their other good work at a time when we need it most.

They are not afraid to step up to and ask to step off big oil, and of course the train wreck that is trump. They are valuable assets to the preservation of this life and the people who exist here.

And as long as |I can pay for them - I am 78 years old and have just a small pension, but |I still work with the nutrition of Herbalife - what means, as long as I can continue working, I will continue to support them.

Friends of the Earth does yoeman's work on behalf of our Earth. It is vital that each of us has clean water, clean air, and soil free of toxic material that damages water tables, acquifiers, and makes raising crops in that polluted soil very unhealthy for man and beast. The UN Climate Rpt tells us clearly that we must change our destructive habits...for own good and that of our children and grandchildren.

Without Friend of the Earth, it would be harder for us to fight factions that want to destroy our forests, oceans, air and water. Our wildlife is precious and there are many in Congress who want to eliminate all protections for them. Support Friends of the Earth and other wonderful organizations in the U.S. We are lucky to have them.

Friends of the Earth advocates for the Earth and all that inhabit it. Their campaigns target the large issues that affect entire ecosystems and their inhabitants, including indigenous people. They are absolutely committed to a healthy environment, environmental justice and the public good.

Friends of the Earth has a 40 year history of environmental justice and successful campaigns that protect our public health. Their invitations to action are thoughtfully prepared and go beyond asking supporters to sign a petition or say they support a cause. Instead we are given opportunities to send a well reasoned letter, or create our own, on issues that are relevant to our country's future and individuals' day to day lives.

Through Friends of the Earth I am partnering with professionals whose passions match my own, to make the world more livable, humane and just.

I like having a tool to express my opinions on such a wide variety topics that Friends offers. We all have to work harder these days to RESIST and come together to save what's home to all of us, Mother Earth. Not only for ourselves, but for our children and our children's children. None of us are alone, and none of us will have a second chance!

I was impressed with this organization because they work on many environmental and
social issues and offer petitions for us to sign frequently, thus keeping us informed of current developments which may have dangerous consequences for our planet and for us. And of course they partner with like minded non-profits to get the job done. Did you know they work in 75 countries altogether and have been doing good for 45 years?

Friends of the Earth is an amazing organization, promoting awareness, protecting people, our food, water, pollinators, battling to keep fossil fuels in the Earth and holding governments and corporations accountable. Who really knew that Bees pollinate 70% of our crops? Who knew that my retirement system was using my money to invest Palm Oil, which is responsible for driving tropical deforestation and climate change? - This is why I am a member of FOE. I also really enjoy the Victory Updates and I share them with everyone I know, to show others that together, we can make a difference by supporting Friends of the Earth. I am so glad to be a member of this amazing organization. Through membership, I have learned much about the world around me - and the need is great! Together with Friends of the Earth, we do make a difference. The Earth needs Friends!

It's not a political thing to want to reduce, to minimize and to have a goal of no pollution, and to drive the world economy with clean growth and clean jobs by researching and growing multiple methods of the sustainable production of energy. However, many world leaders, including our own, are choosing to ignore the need, the possibility and the responsibility of aggressively encouraging, funding and ushering in a whole new era of a cleaner existence for life on Earth. Friends of the Earth is one of several nonprofit organizations that focuses all of its' substantial recourses on issues and situations that are contrary to reducing and eventually eliminating the causes and effects of pollution. It is a no brainer to support their activities.

I have been supporting Friends of the Earth for more than 20 years. As an effective protector of the planet, Friends of the Earth puts donations where they can be most effective. Funding is spent on demonstrating through popular and legal platforms, ways to support and protect our environment. RaIsing awareness of egregious threats to life on Earth, Friends of the Earth then unites with organizations with similar missions to protect vulnerable systems in a global system threatened by ignorance, poverty, and short-sighted corporate greed.

Most importantly, Friends of the Earth keeps its members and the public informed, seeking resolution go conflicts over the exploitation and use of our natural resources.

Friends of the Earth plays a critical role in our country - promoting environmental protections on the federal and state levels. As the executive director of the Maryland Pesticide Education Network, I have worked closely with the organization's staff. Our organization is very grateful for FoE's guidance and support which helped us in our successful efforts to pass two nationally ground-breaking Maryland pollinator protection laws in 2016 and 2017. Our organization has also become more involved in federal advocacy as a result of FoE's work on the Hill.

We must continue to fight injustice and Friends of the Earth is my pick because of their beliefs.

Friends of the Earth is a charity that I support. Because corporations own the United States and see that judges and members of Congress will always side with the corporation. That is the way it works.

So in order to get unbiased information that might just save the Earth, consider supporting Friends of the Earth. Remember, only God can make a tree, but a corporation can ruin a forest.

Friends of the Earth is one of only a handful of charities to which I gift. The reasons are simple:
1) Their vision is perfectly aligned with what is required for a just and sustainable society for all peoples world wide.
2) All donations are maximally leveraged due to both the bold, visionary leadership and the passionate commitment of all the members who take effective, leveraged actions.
There is no wasted money in overhead, fancy offices, expensive marketing campaigns, et cetera.
