Our mission.
PennFuture works to create a just future where nature, communities and the economy thrive. We enforce environmental laws and advocate for the transformation of public policy, public opinion and the marketplace to restore and protect the environment and safeguard public health. PennFuture advances effective solutions for the problems of pollution, sprawl and global warming; mobilizes citizens; crafts compelling communications; and provides excellent legal services and policy analysis.

The Philadelphia Inquirer called PennFuture "Pennsylvania's leading environmental advocacy organization."

What is PennFuture doing?

• We're working to replace old, outdated dirty sources of power with clean, renewable Pennsylvania-made electricity.
• We're fighting factory farm pollution.
• We're helping to stop damage from mining and drilling.
• We're protecting watersheds from sprawl and pollution.
• We're reducing global warming pollution.
• We're watchdogging state government.
• We're providing $2 million per year of free legal services to protect the environment.

PennFuture has many victories and
stands toe-to-toe with some mighty opponents.

• We stood up to polluters and fought for a strong state rule to clean up toxic mercury pollution from the Commonwealth's power plants.
• We lead the fight for passage of a new law that requires the state's electricity providers to supply ever larger amounts of renewable energy to their customers.
• We won $80 million to support clean, renewable electricity in utility cases.
• We convinced Governor Rendell to support a nearly $1 billion bond issue for environmental funding.
• We save water, streams, parks and undeveloped pristine areas around the Commonwealth.

Please browse our website for more information on this and all the other work that PennFuture does on behalf of Pennsylvania, its environment and its citizens.

P.S. PennFuture always tries to walk the walk, not just talk the talk.  That's why we have our own solar power plant on the roof of our Harrisburg office, own a hybrid vehicle for staff use and make sure our activities add nothing to the problem of global warming. Please consider joining us in the use of clean, renewable energy.
