Environmental Action Team

2020 Planning Meeting

About Us

Our primary areas of focus in 2020-21 include climate change and water quality. We are interested in clean energy action by our local governments and the state, including steps to implement the 2019 NC Clean Energy Plan. Water quality issues we are following include offshore seismic testing and oil drilling, GenX and PFAS in the Cape Fear River, and factory farm animal waste. In addition, we respond to local and regional environmental issues as they arise and partner with local environmental organizations on education and advocacy.
