The Environmental Literacy Council is dedicated to helping citizens, especially young people, participate wisely in this arena. An independent, non-profit organization, the Council gives teachers the tools to help students develop environmental literacy: a fundamental understanding of the systems of the world, both living and non-living, along with the analytical skills needed to weigh scientific evidence and policy choices.
As a 501(c)3 organization, the Council relies solely on grants and individual donations to keep our materials free to the public. Your tax-deductible donation through our secure online system will help maintain this tradition as we continue to bring forth balanced, science-based information and resources on an array of environmental topics.
