NRDC is the nation's most effective environmental action organization. We use law, science and the support of 1.3 million members and online activists to protect the planet's wildlife and wild places and to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all living things. Worth Magazine has named NRDC one of America's 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 America's bedrock environmental laws. Today, our staff of more than 300 lawyers, scientists and policy experts -- a MacArthur "genius"​ 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 nation's most powerful environmental groups."​ The National Journal says we're "A credible and forceful advocate for stringent environmental protection."​ 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.

Our mission is to shift American culture and national decision-making away from political fighting toward problem solving, away from conflict toward consensus. We are setting out to conduct an experiment to see if a million Americans, from all walks of life, can identify a set of solutions, by consensus, to achieve a national goal shared by us all…and then become the lobbying force to make their own agreed-upon solutions a reality. Coming out of that experience, we believe Americans will have a vision for how to start to dramatically reform our system of representative government. It begins with identifying national goals shared by nearly all Americans. If that sounds impossible in these divisive times, well, it turns out Americans largely agree on our highest aspirations for our country. We disagree only on tactics. We disagree about gun control, but most of us hope for less violence. We disagree about ObamaCare, but most of us want high-quality, affordable health care for everyone. We disagree about the ethics of the death penalty, but few of us want to see innocent people behind bars or put to death. Unify America is working to help us see that we are far more unified than we believe, and that THERE IS A WAY to address our greatest, most intractable problems in a spirit of unity and cooperation.
