Building a Better Future Help us safeguard the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the places we treasure.

NRDC works with local partners to help create strong, just, and resilient communities. Expanding clean energy protects our health, air, climate, and last wild places. NRDC strives to rid our food, air, water, and household products from toxic chemicals. Unspoiled wilderness protects our watersheds, cleans air, and shelters diverse species.

C. Kibbey is fighting for one of the country’s most ambitious climate bills—and a just transition away from coal. Chris Wheat, who helped make Chicago a greener place from inside its city hall, is now helping empower city governments across the country to realize their many climate ambitions. It will take the highest levels of international cooperation, but by working to curb wildlife trade and conserve vast swaths of disappearing habitat, we can minimize the interspecies interactions that spread viruses. Following a landmark settlement agreement, $8.6 million will be invested back into projects that uplift the community of Peoria, Illinois, where a dirty coal plant is scheduled to close by the end of 2022. NRDC has long collaborated with regional partners, including ranchers, to promote nonlethal methods as an effective alternative to the needless cycles of conflict and killing. The move not only tackles the city’s biggest source of greenhouse gases, but it also shows that local leaders are continuing to pick up the federal government’s slack on climate action. Sometimes the best way to turn your anger into action is to pick up the phone. Follow these tips to minimize your anxiety and maximize your impact. Thanks for signing up.
