ENVIRONMENTAL
ORGANIZATIONS
Make a difference . . . join the fight to conserve our natural resources,
protect
wildlife, preserve forests and national parks, and maintain the delicate balance
of natural ecosystems. There are many environmental organizations that
lead
this fight around the United States and the world, and by becoming a member
of one or more of these fine organizations, you can help.
Most organizations require a nominal membership fee, the proceeds of which
are used to continue and expand their environmental works. Each
organization
differs, however some of the common benefits of membership include:
quarterly magazines discussing current environmental issues, discounted or
special travel packages, and special gifts with the organization's logo.
Contact
the individual organizations to determine the membership benefits offered.
This list is by no means exhaustive, but I have included some of the most
prominent organizations currently available. The list will expand as the
site
develops. Unless otherwise indicated, the information provided refers to
the
United States national headquarters, however, many of these organizations are
active internationally. Go to the corresponding website for more
information.

NATURAL RESOURCE DEFENSE COUNCIL
NRDC Online, from the Natural Resource
Defense Council, covers the e-zone,
where environmental news, thought, opinion, data and trivia collect. With
four
separate webs, each geared to a distinct set of interests and needs, it's the
most
all-purpose environmental site around. Whether you're an armchair activist
interested in doing something, a student with questions only an expert
could answer,
a professional in need of the latest findings, or just a well-informed person
who
wants to stay that way - if you're looking for something environmental,
you'll find it here.
