Green Action

The Texas Campaign for the Environment is a non-profit organization that empowers Texans to fight pollution through sustained grassroots campaigns that successfully shift corporate and governmental policy.

Our small but mighty group of activists, currently based in Austin, Houston and D/FW, pounds the pavement, rain or shine, year-round, to knock on doors and make contact with folks about public health and environmental issues.

Together, we have accomplished many important environmental victories over the years, such as:

Our Mission: Empowering MA residents, government, and business leaders to keep our communities clean and beautiful.

We believe that litter, illegal dumpsites, graffiti, and vacant lots not only hurt property values and discourage economic development, but they also reduce a community’s collective self-esteem. Litter begets litter and blight begets blight.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Residents can take ownership of the appearance of their communities. That’s where Keep Massachusetts Beautiful can help.

Greenheart International connects people and planet to create global leaders through personal development, volunteer service, environmentalism, fair trade, and cultural exchange.

Our branches include:

Greenheart Travel - provides cultural immersion programs for English speakers that change lives, advance careers, and create leaders.

CCI Greenheart - provides cultural exchange programs in the U.S. that connect Americans with international students and promotes cultural understanding.

The Shield-Ayres Foundation is a central Texas foundation that is deeply committed to the preservation of the natural world and to the conservation of the lands and waters on which all life depends.

We strengthen organizations that effectively meet the basic human needs of the most vulnerable members of our community, provide access to educational opportunities and the arts, advocate for social justice, and promote land and water conservation.

The Wetlands Conservancy (TWC) is the only organization in Oregon dedicated to promoting community and private partnerships to permanently protect and conserve Oregon’s greatest wetlands – our most biologically rich and diverse lands.

For more than 30 years, The Wetlands Conservancy has educated and assisted landowners, neighborhood groups, land trusts, and watershed councils on local stewardship to support fish and wildlife, clean water, open space and people’s appreciation of nature.

Openlands protects the natural and open spaces of northeastern Illinois and the surrounding region to ensure cleaner air and water, guard natural habitats and wildlife, and help balance and enrich our lives.

Our activities include helping communities become greener, advocating for open spaces, strengthening access to local foods, restoring native landscapes, using nature to unite communities and expanding our urban forest.

Green parties recognize four fundamental pillars which support our key values: Ecological Wisdom, Democratic Governance, Social Justice, and Non-Violence.

Ecological Wisdom - understanding that humans are part of nature, not separate from nature, and are limited by the resources of our communities and the planet--that everything is inter-connnected.

Pelican Harbor Seabird Station is a wildlife rehabilitation facility, where we rescue and rehabilitate injured or orphaned animals and birds and return them to their ecosystem.

Since our inception, over 30,000 "patients" (animals and birds) and 300 species of birds have been treated. We provide a variety of services to our community. Many of our programs include rescue, rehabilitation, and release, adopt-a-bird and donation options, educational classes for the public, institutional research, and guided waterfront tours for all ages.
