Mission Statement: To explore, enjoy and protect the planet.
To practice and promote the responsible use of the earth's ecosystems and
resources; to educate and enlist humanity to protect and restore the quality of
the natural and human environment; and to use all lawful means to carry out
those objectives.
Please take a moment to sign our online petition
against the plant proposed for HempsteadCounty, which urges Governor
Beebe to institute a moratorium on coal-fired power plants until the
Governor’s Commission Global Warming has completed its work.
We're looking for great volunteers to help us
in our earth-friendly activities.
