Green Action

Environment Florida is a citizen-based environmental advocacy organization and a project of Environment America.

Florida’s environment is unique and worth protecting. Whether it's our world-famous beaches and estuaries, or our storied "river of grass," Florida's natural wonders enrich our lives in countless ways.

At Environment Colorado, our professional staff combines independent research, practical ideas and tough-minded advocacy to overcome the opposition of powerful special interests and win real results for Colorado's environment.

Our mission is to create awareness about the plight of the environment, to educate the public about caring for our planet, humanity and the environment, to run recycling operations and to support environmental projects and programs locally and globally.

Some of our projects:

Collecting Used Clothes and Shoes
Through our green drop off bins we provide a convenient way for people in local communities to drop their unwanted clothes and other items.

Better Future Project works to build powerful grassroots movements to address the climate crisis and advance a rapid and responsible transition beyond fossil fuels. We educate the public about climate change, empower new leaders, and help citizens to make their voices heard.

Our volunteers are among the strongest voices demanding swift action on climate change in Massachusetts.

In the years since our founding, we've engaged in countless campaigns for climate and clean energy:

Friends of the Everglades was founded by Marjory Stoneman Douglas in 1969 as an advocacy group to preserve, protect and restore the only Everglades on Earth.

Our Goals:
• Compel government agencies to comply with existing environmental laws, and resist any efforts to weaken such laws.
• Encourage politicians to recognize the long consequences of their actions.
• Spread awareness of the importance of the Everglades to the South Florida ecosystem.

The Colorado Water Trust is committed to completing projects that put real water back in rivers and streams across Colorado. In our brief history, we’ve restored approximately 9 billion gallons of water to 316 miles of streams and rivers in Colorado.

WHY WE'RE NEEDED

For over 150 years, Colorado’s water allocation system has focused on taking water out of rivers. When the Colorado Water Trust was founded in 2001, our job was to prove that this same system could also restore depleted river flows—bringing back ecosystems and making life better for wildlife and humans both.
