Grassroots environmental advocacy groups can help bring needed attention and a voice for change to important environmental issues in a community. Of course, before deciding to support any group, it is important to do one's due diligence to find out if the organization is really carrying out its stated mission. The goal of this week's discussion is to identify a local or regional advocacy group working on environmental issues. Please respond to the following questions in your initial post.

What is the name of the advocacy group? Share a link to its web site.

What are the group's sources of funding? Who are its major donors?

How much of the group's budget is spent on advancing environmental causes?
