Work that puts the Earth first

Steve Blackledge, director of conservation campaigns for Environment America, on the power of working for a large network.
We’re hiring
Environment America has one mission: to protect the natural world.
We advocate ideas and actions to shift our country onto a greener, healthier path. Our network of 30 state environmental groups promotes clean air, clean water, clean energy, wildlife and open spaces, and a livable climate. Our members put grassroots support behind our research, public education, advocacy and litigation.
Nothing is more important to our future than facing this fact: Infinite economic growth on a finite planet is neither possible nor wise. We must shift from deplete to preserve, from disposable to sustainable, from “too much” to “enough.” Together, our staff, members and other supporters are committed to winning changes that allow nature to thrive and our children to live healthier, more enriching lives.
We approach this mission in a strategic, result-oriented way by:
- Staying laser-focused on the environment,
- Making sure we’re making a difference, not just make a statement,
- Working with anybody — Republican, Democrat or other — to deliver action and accomplishments, and
- Reaching out to as many people as we can to build broad and deep support for the environment, not just preach to the choir.
