Let?s Raise a Million ? A student-led, urban initiative that conducts
FREE complete energy efficient audits and ?clean bulb? retrofits for
urban residents of modest means. Atlanta?s West End, Grambling, LA,
and Detroit, MI are already reaping the benefits.
BE OUT THERE ? Get our children outdoors to learn about nature and
take pride in their communities!
Clean Energy for All ? NWF wants to make sure all communities have
equal access resources to increase their energy efficiency and save
money while improving their quality of life.
Protecting Human Health and Wildlife from Natural Gas Drilling ? NWF
is working to ensure that proposed upstate gas drilling doesn’t
jeopardize human health, the water supply, and wildlife.
?Greening Our Communities? will take place on the anniversary of the
Exxon Valdez oil spill that occurred in the Prince William Sound,
Alaska on March 24, 1989. It is considered one of the most devastating
human-caused environmental disasters ever to occur at sea. The region
was a habitat for salmon, sea otters, seals and seabirds.
