Mighty Earth's Sustainable Agriculture Campaign is looking for motivated people to help us prevent deforestation and water pollution by getting large corporations to change their practices. In 2020, our meat shouldn't worsen the climate crisis and destroy pristine forests and water sources. We're calling on Stop & Shop and Costco to stop selling meat produced by Cargill, a company that has driven the destruction of millions of acres of grasslands and rainforests in South America as well as caused water pollution across the United States. Over the next several months, we will be organizing virtual events, working with the media, collecting petition signatures, and building a broad coalition of local groups to hold these corporations accountable and build a sustainable future. This opportunity takes places in New England (targeting Stop & Shop) and Washington state (targeting Costco).

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.
Mighty Earth is also a member of the Ape Alliance.
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.
