Environmental Action Coalition

Hide Profile

The Environmental Action Coalition (EAC) is a non-profit citizens' association in New York City dedicated to expanding public awareness of environmental problems. It works to achieve this goal through consumer awareness, the development of an environmental education curriculum for schools, and the coordination of environmental protection and improvement projects with community groups, business, government, and the scientific community. Organized in 1970 as the New York Committee for Earth Day, the EAC focuses on the issues of recycling and solid waste disposal, urban forestry, water conservation, and environmental education.
