I have been promising people for years that I would do this post.
\nThe nonprofits I have found over the years who seem _to me_ to be honestly working towards a better world as opposed to some of our mega clubs who say one thing but do another.
\nTo me the evidence suggests that some of those mega clubs are actually taking money to work for the other side. I mean, why would the Sierra Club hide environmentally important public information from you? Why would they re-hide the huge number of FOIA documents that they have acquired? Public documents that they themselves claim are important for the environment — and they hide them again from you!
\nWhy would the American sierra club have a single (broken) link for pesticide action while the Canadian Sierra Club has pages and pages pointing out the problems with pesticides.I believe many of our “environmental” organizations are broken; unfortunately way beyond repair.<\/p>\n

So here are a few nonprofits that I think highly of and briefly why.<\/p>\n
