Earthjustice is the nation’s leading environmental law organization. Wielding the power of law, Earthjustice partners with our clients to take on the most critical fights of our time — fights to protect the incredible biodiversity and wild places of the planet; to avert climate disaster by transitioning society away from fossil fuels toward clean energy; and to safeguard the right of all people to a healthy environment. We are here because the earth needs a good lawyer.
Founded in 1971, Earthjustice has a distinguished track record of achieving significant, lasting environmental protections. We achieve this by hiring people who share a passion for justice and a healthy environment. Our headquarters are in San Francisco with offices in Anchorage, Bozeman, Chicago, Denver, Honolulu, Houston, Juneau, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York, Seattle, Tallahassee and Washington, D.C.
Earthjustice’s Right to Zero program focuses on reducing pollution by transitioning away from combustion and towards cleaner, healthier technologies. Combustion is the largest source of emissions for both nitrogen oxides (NOx), which contribute to ozone and particulate matter pollution, and carbon dioxide (CO2), which drives climate change. While cleaning up the fuels used in combustion can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, health-harming pollution would persist. To address both criteria and climate pollution—as our climate, health and justice imperatives demand—we must transform the way we move people and goods, the way we heat our homes and businesses, and the way we produce, process and assemble goods. We must transform our economy by electrifying all that we can with clean power.
