About Us

"The Natural ...Resource ...Development ...Committee? I don't remember what it stands for. But I'll tell you one thing. It's kick-ass because they sue the crap out of b-holes. And I support it" - Jack Black

NRDC is the nation's most effective environmental action organization. With the backing of 1.2 million members, we protect human health and the environment by:

1. Taking on corporate polluters and government indifference in court;

We sued the U.S. Navy and stopped them from blasting the world's marine mammals with deadly hi-frequency sonar.

2. Helping companies and institutions see the 'green' light;

We've partnered with Warner Music Group to revolutionize their music label into the greenest on earth.

3. Making smart sustainable policies the law of the land;

We ensured that a half million kids in California are getting tested for lead poisoning every year.

No matter what the method, we do whatever it takes to protect the planet - for all of us.

Join NRDC - for as little as $10 - and sue the crap out of b-holes, too.
