My Nonprofit Reviews

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with all the issues that are bombarding our environment. I am especially concerned about our natural resource, water. It is essential to all life, and yet everywhere we turn it seems that fracking and other for profit practices are polluting our precious resource.

I cannot on my own make a difference and bring about change for the betterment of our environment. That is why I support the Environmental Defense Fund. They are bringing about changes for the good of our environment, such as the water returning to the dry Colorado River basin. This miracle came about through the efforts of EDF working with conservationists in Mexico and the U.S.

On the issue of fracking, the EDF was instrumental in bringing about a group of environmentalists and some of the countries biggest energy companies to work together to improve the safety of natural gas operations. The Center for Sustainable Shale Development (CSSD), represents a breakthrough in the war over fracking. These companies have agreed to voluntarily support some tough new standards for fracking in the Northeast.

There are many other environmental issues that are tackled by the EDF, and I am proud to support them in the good work that they do on behalf of our fragile environment and for all of us on the planet.
