PennEnvironment Administrator
Clean water to drink and clean air to breathe; healthy waterways from the Three Rivers to the Delaware that are safe for swimming and fishing; preserved parks and wilderness from Ohiopyle to the Delaware Water Gap; clean sources of energy that don't pollute and never run out, and citizens who are able to stand up and make sure this is Pennsylvania's future—all this should be the heritage we leave to future generations.
It takes tough-minded advocacy and effective tools and organizations to win concrete results for our environment, especially when powerful interests stand in the way of progress. PennEnvironment is the Commonwealth's leading citizen environmental advocacy organization. We defend our environment from powerful polluters by mobilizing tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians, conducting independent research, and executing tough-minded advocacy.
