Want to clean up our agriculture system? Mighty Earth NWA is working on a campaign that's asking McDonald's and Whole Foods to make a commitment to only buy meat grown with sustainable practices. We're trying to prevent fertilizer and manure runoff which poison our waterways, soil erosion, and unnecessary deforestation all over the world. If you care about public health and the environment, this campaign is a great opportunity to make a huge difference!
Volunteers will help gather over 1,000 petitions, make phone calls to get our community involved, plan exciting events, get media attention, build coalitions of important stakeholders, and other tactics which will help us win this campaign! Whether you have campaign experience or not, this is a perfect way to get involved locally to address international issues.

Mission Statement
Mighty Earth is a global campaign organization that works to protect tropical forests, oceans, and the climate. We aspire to be the most effective environmental organization in the world.
Description
Our campaigns and our team have played a leading role in persuading the world’s largest food and agriculture companies to adopt policies to eliminate deforestation and human rights abuse from their supply chains, and driven adoption of multi-billion dollar shifts to clean energy. Our Chairman, former Congressman Henry Waxman, is responsible for some of the most important environmental legislation of the last 50 years, notably the 1990 re-authorization of the Clean Air Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act.
Since April 2017, Mighty Earth has been a proud member of the High Carbon Stock Approach Steering Group.We are committed to the HCS approach and will work to support the application of the HCS methodology around the world. View our ethical guidelines here.
Whether we’re rallying for change internationally or locally, Mighty Earth is building a movement to protect our environment. Mighty is a fiscally sponsored project of the Center for International Policy, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Join us today.
