Founded in 1984 by a bipartisan group of Members of Congress concerned about energy and environmental issues, EESI carries out policymaker education and analysis projects in the areas of energy efficiency and renewable energy, global climate change, agriculture, biofuels, smart-growth, and clean bus technologies. 
Incorporated in 1939, the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden is an educational
and scientific institution fostering stewardship of the natural world
through inspired learning, rigorous scholarship, and premier displays.
With an emphasis on plants native to California, the Garden's living
collections, including more than 1,000 taxa of plants, are featured
throughout 40 acres accessible by over 5.5 miles of public trails. 
Clean Ocean Action (COA) is a broad-based coalition of over 150 business, community, conservation, environmental, fishing, boating, diving, student, surfing, women's, and service groups. Since 1984, these "Ocean Wavemakers" have worked to clean up and protect the waters of the New York Bight. With eight ocean dumpsites closed, powerful new clean water laws on the books, and a greater public awareness of the ocean and its improved health, it's clear the system works. 
The Sustainability Institute is grassroots level organization focused on achieving a sustainable South Carolina—a place where homes and communities are developed and restored to be healthy and environmentally sound, where residents actively participate in community decision-making, and where natural resources and systems are protected for the enjoyment of future generations. 
Since October 2006, More Plants Less Walls has worked to clear the backlog in areas where the urban forest and tree canopy is in most need of help. When a municipal re-planting or revitalization project is put on hold due to budgetary constraints, they raise and donate the funds needed to purchase the necessary trees and plants and complete the project.
