EarthSave International
EarthSave educates, inspires and empowers people to shift toward a diet centered on fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes-- food choices that are healthy for people and for the planet. EarthSave is leading a global movement of people from all walks of life taking concrete steps every day to promote healthy and life-sustaining food choices. EarthSave supplies information, support and practical programs to the growing cross-section of our society that is discovering the power of food choices to promote environmental well-being and human health. We support individuals in making food choices that promote health, reduce health care costs and provide greater independence from the medical system. We raise awareness of the vast ecological destruction resulting from the unsustainable production of animal foods promoting instead a delicious planet-friendly diet.
Automated Activism

The USDA has been swayed by the lobbying efforts of huge Agribusiness interests. These interests have seen organic farming grow into a multimillion dollar industry, cutting into a market that had been theirs alone. So by watering down the meaning of organic, the Agribusiness interests can accomplish two goals: 1) capture a portion of this market by labeling products which cannot meet current state standards of organic, as organic and/or 2) run organic farmers out of business who won't be able to complete price-wise with Agribusiness. Send an automated protest message by filling out the form on their website. You will create an email protesting the proposed USDA Organic Standards to be sent automatically to thirty-six key policy makers: two key personnel at the USDA, the President & Vice President, twelve key members of the House of Representatives Agriculture Committee, all eighteen members of the Senate Agriculture Committee plus the California Organic Program in Sacramento.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) is a leading content provider for public interest groups and concerned citizens who are campaigning to protect the environment.

EWG is based in Washington, D.C., with an office in San Francisco.
