Environmental Action is a 501(c)(4) non-profit environmental advocacy organization in the United States. Founded in 1970 by environmental activists at the first Earth Day,[1] it operated until 1996 but was then rebooted in 2012 as part of the Public Interest Network, a family of non-profit organizations that includes the Public Interest Research Group, Environment America, Green Corps and others.[2]
Environmental Action developed the original "Dirty Dozen", a list of members of Congress with poor records on environmental issues.[3] Begun in 1970, it has been run annually ever since in partnership with the League of Conservation Voters.[4][5] The group also helped convince Richard Nixon to support the Clean Air Act of 1970, the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act.[6]
