Environment New York is a citizen-based environmental advocacy organization and a project of Environment America. We believe there's something special about New York — something worth protecting and preserving for future generations. Whether it's hiking in the wild forested hills of the Catskills, going for a swim in Long Island Sound, or camping along Lake George in the Adirondacks, New York's natural wonders enrich our lives in countless ways.Yet the places we love and the environmental values so many of us share are too often threatened by powerful industries, short-sighted politicians and more. Defending our environment requires independent research, tough-minded advocacy and spirited grassroots action.That's the idea behind Environment New York. Together with tens of thousands of supporters from all walks of life, we take action that wins tangible results for our environment.Interests: Environment, Fracking, Advocacy, Campaigns, Politics, Public Policy, Global Warming, National Parks, Conservation, Lobbying, Grassroots, Organizing, Clean Energy, Solar Energy, Wind EnergyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/EnvironmentNY/Website: http://www.environmentnewyork.orgTwitter: @EnvNY
