Environmental Defense Fund

            The defense fund started in 1967 and serves to link science, economics, and law to create efficient solutions to current environmental problems. The organization is a non-profit one and it hosts more than 400,000 members.

            Environmental Defense has for their main goal the well being of the environment, and the general protection of its air and habitat. It states that all human beings have an equal right to clean air, nourishing food, and a flourishing ecosystem.

            For some action, they helped move an environmental movement by winning the ban on the pesticide DDT, and this was a representation of how a handful of individuals can reform the nation and affect the well being of the ecosystem. The Defense Fund is one of the most influential organizations out there in that it harbors numerous Ph. D scientists and economists on their staff.
