> protection, healthy food and sustainable agriculture, and more. With 
> nearly 100 professional staff, more than 1 million members, activists

> takes to stand up to polluting industries and ultimately sweep past 
> them.  The results of our work include more solar and wind power in 22 
> states, caps on global warming pollution in six states and a regional 
> cap on global warming pollution from power plants in 10 states, bans 
> on plastic bags in more than 50 cities, better-protected parks, and 
> stronger protections for our waterways.

> Today, we face many environmental problems. Temperatures are soaring, 
> forests are burning, and sea levels are rising. Factory farms and 
> other polluters have created massive biological dead zones in the Gulf
