Our mission is to harness economic power—the strength of consumers, investors, businesses, and the marketplace—to create a socially just and environmentally sustainable society.

We work for a world where all people have enough, where all communities are healthy and safe, and where the bounty of the Earth is preserved for all the generations to come.

In all of our work, “green” means social and economic justice, community and environmental health. For us, it really is about both people and the planet.

Green America’s work combines four powerful strategies:

  • Empowering individuals to make purchasing and investing choices that promote social justice and environmental sustainability;

  • Demanding an end to corporate irresponsibility through collective economic action;

  • Promoting green and fair trade business principles while building the market for businesses adhering to these principles;

  • Building sustainable communities in the US and abroad.

Green America is a not-for-profit membership organization founded in 1982. (We went by the name “Co-op America” until January 1, 2009.)
