NRDC is the nations most effective environmental action organization. We use law, science and the support of 1.3 million members and online activists to protect the planets wildlife and wild places and to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all living things. Worth Magazine has named NRDC one of Americas 100 best charities, and the Wise Giving Alliance of the Better Business Bureau reports that NRDC meets its highest standards for accountability and use of donor funds. NRDC was founded in 1970 by a group of law students and attorneys at the forefront of the environmental movement. NRDC lawyers helped write some of Americas bedrock environmental laws. Today, our staff of more than 300 lawyers, scientists and policy experts -- a MacArthur "genius"โ€‹ award-winner among them -- work out of offices in New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Beijing. The New York Times calls us "One of the nations most powerful environmental groups."โ€‹ The National Journal says were "A credible and forceful advocate for stringent environmental protection."โ€‹ With the support of our members and online activists, NRDC works to solve the most pressing environmental issues we face today: curbing global warming, getting toxic chemicals out of the environment, moving America beyond oil, reviving our oceans, saving wildlife and wild places, and helping China go green.
