I used to volunteer here, and I have a friend who used to work here. It's a beautiful place; when they moved from San Francisco to Oakland they invested the money they were saving in remodeling the whole office so it was "green" - like recycled rubber flooring in the mail room that would also be friendly to the people who stood and walked around there all day, ergonomic and totally recycled office chairs, et cetera. You can get tours of the office and learn all about what they did.
And that stuff reflects exactly what they do. Earthjustice does the brilliant work of attacking where environmental destruction hits people. Sure, they fight for the grizzly bear and the salmon and the owl, but also, they attack environmental racism like all of the extremely toxic power plants and waste facilities that are deliberately built next to low-income neighborhoods of color. And they get results in spades, as you can see at http://earthjustice.org. There's nothing like a politically savvy and effective environmental group; there should be more places like Earthjustice.
