Our Mission
Clean water to drink and clean air to breathe; healthy lakes and rivers that are safe for swimming and fishing; preserved open spaces; clean sources of energy that don’t pollute and never run out — all this should be the heritage we leave to future generations. Our staff research the issues, educate the public, and win tangible results.
About us
Wisconsin Environment Research & Policy Center is a project of Environment America Research & Policy Center, a 501 (c)(3) organization. We are dedicated to protecting our air, water and open spaces.

Future Project:
100% Renewable Energy
We should be able to power our lives without polluting our environment. We have the ability to produce and consume energy and still enjoy healthy communities — and give our children and their children a livable future.
