Grassroots Environmental Education is a science-based environmental health non-profit, seeking to inform the public and decision makers about the health risks of common environmental exposures and to empower individuals and organizations to act as catalysts for change in their own communities. We strive to accomplish this using science-driven arguments for clean air, clean water, and a safe food supply, and for stricter regulation of radiation and chemical toxins. We believe that positive and lasting change is best accomplished through grassroots initiatives.
