Northeast

About Our Work

The Northeast is one of the most populated areas of the country, and protecting the region's public health is one of our top priorities. Our Northeast office halts the discharge of toxic chemicals into drinking water, cleans up abandoned waste sites, and pushes for greater consumer safety measures for household cleaners. In addition, our focus on curbing the use of fossil fuels aims to move the Northeast towards a more sustainable energy future.
