OUR MISSION The NRDC New York Council was founded in 2003 to raise awareness of the important environmental issues facing New Yorkers, and help support NRDC's work to create a cleaner, healthier New York. The NRDC New York Council is comprised of a varied group of New Yorkers who share a strong commitment to the environment and are dedicated to furthering the mission of NRDC on the regional, national and international levels. Council members also work to develop their knowledge of NRDC's programs, contribute their time, and engage their social and professional networks to increase awareness of environmental issues and raise funds for NRDC. NRDC is the nation's most effective environmental action organization. We use law, science, and the support of 1.2 million members and online activists to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all living things and to protect the planet's wildlife and wild places. In New York, NRDC has addressed some of the most important environmental concerns facing the region. Whether the challenge was removing toxic lead from gasoline in the 1970s, launching the campaign to rebuild the New York subway system in the 1980's, redirecting city solid waste policy from landfilling to recycling in the 1990's, or more recently protecting upstate watershed lands and advancing business investments in energy efficiency, NRDC has served as a catalyst for environmental reform and urban revitalization. These challenges have been met by our New York team of lawyers, scientists, economists, and policy experts, who continue to use a broad variety of tools - from bold policy proposals and litigation to coalition activism and business partnerships - to protect the health and environment of all New Yorkers.
