INFORM. IMPROVE. We investigate environmental problems and fight for average people facing David-vs-Goliath odds against well-connected energy companies and other polluters. CoalCoal has an enormous environmental footprint.From carbon dioxide to mercury, smog-forming air pollutants and toxic wastewater, coal-fired power plants cause major damage to public health and the natural world.EIP uses legal expertise and technical analysis to challenge permits that are too lax, litigate over violations, advocate for stronger regulations, and release reports and data to inform the public. LEARN MORE Chesapeake Bay and Factory FarmsAgricultural runoff is the single largest source of pollution in the Bay.We scrutinize the water and air emissions from factory farms, and use this data as part of our national efforts to more closely regulate the industry.EIP also issues investigative reports about other sources of pollution in the nation’s largest estuary, including from industry and sewage. When necessary, we take legal action against big polluters. LEARN MORE Oil GasFracking has sparked a dramatic expansion in the oil and gas industry.With cheaper fuel, petrochemical industries are also booming, and this has increased the threat to public health and the climate.From our office in Austin, Texas, to our community outreach work in western Pennsylvania, we work to hold the powerful industry accountable to following all environmental laws and accurately reporting pollution.
