Who We Are
NRDC is one of the nation's most respected environmental organizations with more than 3 million members and online activists. We were founded in 1970 by a group of law students and attorneys at the forefront of the environmental movement. NRDC's mission is to safeguard the earth- its people, its plants and animals, and the natural systems on which all life depends. We work to solve the world's most pressing environmental issues.
What We DoWe are currently working on a campaign called Stop Flushing Our Forests. We're calling on Procter & Gamble to reduce virgin forest fiber material in Charmin toilet paper and other tissue products. Some of the tissue in Charmin comes from the Canadian boreal forest, which is the largest remaining intact forest in the world. The boreal is being clear cut at a rate of one million acres per year. We are working to convince P&G to use more recycled materials and alternative fibers in their tissue products.
DescriptionNRDC is looking for motivated individuals to help us with an exciting campaign to protect our forests from clear-cutting. Volunteers will help us to build grassroots power and work with other community members and local organizations and participate in environmental advocacy. Over the next several weeks, we will be organizing community events, working with the media, collecting petition signatures and photo petitions, and building a broad coalition of campus groups.
Volunteers will lead and assist with a wide variety of campaign tasks. Good verbal and writing skills are important as Volunteers will recruit and train others, and lead meetings.
