Website: http://bit.ly/44ifPbV... Company Description: Our mission is to protect public health and our natural resources by holding polluters and government agencies accountable under the law, advocating for tough but fair environmental standards, and empowering communities fighting for clean air and clean water. EIP was founded in 2002 by Eric Schaeffer, the former director of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Civil Enforcement. Schaeffer resigned in protest when the Bush White House interfered with efforts to reduce harmful pollution from coal-fired power plants, and he dedicated EIP to the principle that politics should never get in the way of enforcing our environmental laws. EIP is a national organization with strong ties to frontline communities and organizations in places like the Gulf States, Ohio River Valley, and the Mid-Atlantic region. We are dedicated to reducing the enormous amount of climate, air, and water pollution generated by the fossil fuel power sector and industries that extract, store, or process oil or natural gas to make fuel, chemicals and plastics, fertilizers, and other petrochemical products. These same industries surround low income and communities of color, exposing residents to unhealthy concentrations of carcinogens, smog forming chemicals, sulfur compounds, and other pollutants. EIP work also targets pollution from other sectors, including steel manufacturing, landfills and trash incinerators, and aluminum production. EIP’s Center for Applied Environmental Science (CAES) ensures that local communities and environmental advocates have access to high-quality science and engineering expertise. By providing this access, which is a critical element in permitting and siting decisions, legal challenges, and rulemaking efforts, we support disproportionately impacted communities as they seek more power to influence environmental decisions that affect their health and quality of life. | |||||
