Climate & Environmental Protection<\/h1><\/div>

Industrial animal agriculture cannot exist without threatening the health of agricultural workers and rural communities, contributing significantly to warming the planet, and polluting land, air, and water.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

We’re using the law to hold corporate agriculture accountable for the pollution they create, and stopping food companies from making false environmental and climate claims to mislead their customers.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n


When corporations make false environmental claims, they take customers away from farmers who are actually doing the hard work of farming responsibly. We challenge those claims so companies can\u2019t profit from pretending to be sustainable. By taking action to stop deceptive corporate greenwashing and enforce environmental laws, we are directly challenging the harm that props up the dangerous status quo, and building a future that\u2019s healthier for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
