ENVIRONMENTAL INTEGRITY PROJECT

WASHINGTON, District of Columbia, 20006 United States

Mission Statement

The Environmental Integrity Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting public health and our natural resources by holding polluters and government agencies accountable under the law, advocating for tough but fair environmental standards, and empowering communities fighting for clean air and clean water. Your donations help us fight illegal pollution, expose political intimidation of enforcement staff, and encourage federal and state agencies to take necessary enforcement actions to protect our environment and all of us who share it.

About This Cause

Existing environmental laws fail to protect people and the environment when they are not enforced. Yet EPA and state agencies charged with protecting the environment are often squeezed by limited resources, political interference, and pressure from the industries they regulate. EIP helps to fill the gap that weak government action leaves behind. Our in-house expertise in law, engineering, data analysis, public health, public policy, environmental science, and community organizing help us to see the full picture and develop and implement strategies that produce measurable results. Our expert staff uses a multidisciplinary approach to: - Enforce the law against EPA or polluters to ensure our environmental laws work for everyone; - Secure more protective environmental rules and pollution control permits; - Analyze and publish data about the impact that specific sources of pollution have on local communities and climate change; - Provide neighborhood activists with the legal, technical, and organizing resources they need to effectively participate in decisions that impact their health, environment, and quality of life; and - Educate and mobilize the public about the need to close loopholes in rules that protect public health and the environment.
