About NRDC: Annual Report

Litigation, Action and Education
Litigation, Action and Education
This document is also available as a PDF file that includes photos and illustrations.

Just like our attorneys and our other policy staff, NRDC's communications and advocacy teams are critical to winning today's major environmental battles. NRDC's newly reinforced litigation team is bringing tougher and more creative cases than ever before, while our Washington and state-based staffs are in the trenches day after day, fighting battles that are often waged minute by minute. Whether it is NRDC energy expert Jim Presswood testifying before a hearing on Capitol Hill, legislative ace Heather Taylor working with politicians on both sides of the aisle, or NRDC's media staff pitching Washington reporters and producers for a story, NRDC is influencing the legislative and regulatory process using every available tactic. To illustrate how skilled these hands are, we offer you a snippet from a weekly communications summary written by our lead Washington communications staffer.


See the complete Litigation, Action and Education section of this report (in pdf format, 298k) for more about our work, including a timeline of some of this year's greatest environmental actions.
