Environmental Advocates of New York

Environmental Advocates of New York is your government watchdog, serving the people of New York as an effective and aggressive advocate on nearly every important state environmental issue. Through advocacy, coalition building, citizen education and policy development, we work to safeguard public health and preserve our unique natural heritage. We reach beyond New York's borders to advance multi-state and national initiatives that have an impact on New York's environment and are the New York State affiliate of the National Wildlife Federation (NWF).

Through our Air and Energy Program, Environmental Advocates works for cleaner and healthier air for all New Yorkers. Because energy use - including electricity, transportation, and heating - is the most significant source of the air pollution that causes smog, acid rain, global warming, and other problems, our Air and Energy Program focuses on reducing pollution from energy use and promoting the clean technologies that will bring a sustainable energy future.

Environmental Advocates' Air & Energy Program has successfully pushed for a renewable energy mandate for NY. We made sure NY matched California's strict standards for car pollution. We effectively lobbied for an increase in NY's investment in conservation and efficiency programs. We pressed NY to take action on global warming and reduce the pollution from outdated power plants. And while we've had much success, there is more to be done. NY needs to cap carbon dioxide pollution from power plants, set strict mercury standards, reform power plant siting, and redouble conservation efforts. Environmental Advocates won't rest until every New Yorker breathes clean air every day.
