I've been supporting Eco-justice, formally Sierra Legal Defense Fund, for nearly 2 decades.  I've been consistently impressed by the results these folks get by using our legal system to force corporations and governments to play by the rules.

They just won another landmark case, this time to ensure habitat protection for Orcas, and thus for the Strait of Georgia marine ecosystems in general.

If you're ever looking to donate to a good cause - I highly recommend supporting these folks -  they're not radicals, not tree-huggers, not wishful-thinkers - they're lawyers... with a conscience... who do daily battle to try to wring some "justice" out of the "justice system"... and they need our support.
