sustainable style foundation*

The U.S. voice of an influential, international network of grassroots groups in 70 countries, Friends of the Earth was founded in San Francisco in 1969 by David Brower and for decades has been at the forefront of high-profile efforts to create a more healthy, just world. Their members were the founders of what is now the world's largest federation of democratically elected environmental groups, Friends of the Earth International. Over the years, their efforts have been able to: stop over 150 bad dams and water projects worldwide; ban international whaling; oust infamous James Watt; press for landmark regulations of strip mining and oil tankers; reform the World Bank; and eliminate billions in taxpayer subsidies to corporate polluters.
