Protecting the Planet for 35 Years and Counting

When the Tongass National Forest was threatened by a Bushadministration plan for logging – Friends of the Earth wasthere with the facts and a bipartisan coalition to stop it. Whenthe government of the District of Columbia and theEnvironmental Protection Agency refused to clean up theAnacostia River, Friends of the Earth launched a lawsuit underthe Clean Water Act. When the Bush administration proposed

an energy plan that was an incentive package for more dirty energy, Friends of theEarth lobbied Congress, produced a full-page newspaper ad, and activated mem-bers to help stop the plan. Thank you for the support that has allowed Friends of theEarth to be a leader in the environmental movement.

Over the last 35 years, you have helped us challenge governments and corporationsto protect wild places and threatened species, reduce pollution, and safeguardhuman health from environmental threats. Throughout our 35-year history, Friends ofthe Earth’s work has been distinguished by our talented policy staff, legal expertise,and our unrelenting efforts to defend the environment and champion a healthy andjust world.

David Brower founded Friends of the Earth in 1969, setting up our first office in anold firehouse in San Francisco. Brower was inspired by the urgent need for a groupthat would take an uncompromising stand to protect the planet. Since then Friendsof the Earth has pioneered plans for a clean energy economy, saved over 150 rivervalleys and canyons from bad dam and water projects worldwide, waged a success-ful campaign to ban international whaling, helped stop the construction of nuclearpower plants, achieved passage of landmark laws on strip mining and oil tankers,reformed the World Bank, and publicized the billions in taxpayer subsidies going tocorporate polluters.

Despite the extremely hostile political climate this past year, working with allies wehad a number of significant accomplishments:

• By marshalling bipartisan support in Congress, we fought back a proposal to logthe Tongass National Forest.

• We helped convince the Senate to block the nomination of the anti-environmentaland energy industry favorite William Myers to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

• We achieved a state ban on biopharmaceutical rice when staff experts exposedthe environmental and health threats of bioengineered pharmaceuticals in ricecrops in Southern California.

• Friends of the Earth revealed the failure of a number of Fortune 500 corporationsto disclose the climate change impacts of their operations as required by law.

Reflecting back on our long history of achievements and our recent victories, we areinvigorated to meet the challenges ahead. To that end, Friends of the Earth is deter-mined to eliminate the environmental causes of cancer. In the coming year, we willpush the personal care products industry to produce cosmetics free of cancer caus-ing ingredients. We intend to continue monitoring new appointments to federal agen-cies charged with protecting public lands and the environment. Friends of the Earthwill be leading the fight to further reform the World Bank and International MonetaryFund. We will be monitoring spending on environmentally harmful government subsi-dies and tax breaks at the federal and state level.

Thank you again for your support. With your generosity, Friends of the Earth will con-tinue to take the lead in challenging governments and corporations to protect ourplanet.

“Friends of the Earthis one of our nation’smost effectiveenvironmental groups.”

Protecting our environment andour health is a fundamental dutyof government. Through ourEconomics for the Earthprogram, Friends of the Earth isfighting to increase funding forrenewable energy development,public transportation, and landpreservation.

The Green ScissorsCampaignThe Green Scissors Campaign is Friendsof the Earth’s long-running effort to endenvironmentally destructive tax breaksand subsidies. Founded in 1994, thecampaign is a coalition of environmental,taxpayer and consumer groups led byFriends of the Earth. Since its inception,the campaign has achieved cuts of morethan $26 billion in destructive tax breaksand subsidies from the federal budget,and more than $2.5 billion from statebudgets.

In 2003, Friends of the Earth and theGreen Scissors Campaign worked withmembers of Congress to launch theGreen Scissors Congressional Caucus.Members of this bipartisan caucus arecommitted to offering amendments thatadvance recommendations from ourGreen Scissors 2004 report. To date, theGreen Scissors Campaign has succeed-ed in preventing more timber roads inthe Tongass National Forest in Alaska,and reduced the business tax break forsport utility vehicles. We have alsoblocked additional funding for a projectthat would harm the Delaware River, andhelped prevent additional tax credits fora particularly destructive method ofextracting natural gas.

State Level GreenScissors ReportsFriends of the Earth has been workingwith state groups from around the coun-try to draft state-level Green Scissorsreports. Working with California groups,we released the Green Watchdog Report2003, which offered 10 recommenda-tions that would protect the environment,improve public health, and cut wastefulgovernment spending. The proposalsshift the cost of environmental programsfrom taxpayers to those responsible forcausing the damage. In total, six out often recommendations were either partial-ly or fully implemented, making it moreexpensive to pollute and savingCalifornia taxpayers $496 million in thecurrent year and nearly $2.5 billion overthe next five years.

Working with Maryland groups, Friendsof the Earth released Greening theBudget: 11 Ideas for Protecting theEnvironment and Easing Maryland’sFiscal Crisis. If adopted, these proposalswould help protect Maryland’s air andwater while saving more than $144 mil-lion annually.

Future state Green Scissors reports areplanned for North Carolina and Virginia.

Protecting SalmonFriends of the Earth is winning key bat-tles to protect the salmon and steelheadpopulations in the Northwest from extinc-tion. Friends of the Earth and our part-ner groups were successful in convinc-ing a federal judge to issue an injunctionto protect these fish. The Army Corps ofEngineers and the Bonneville PowerAdministration planned to curtail thespill-over from dams at the expense ofthe Chinook salmon’s critical habitat andvulnerable juvenile fish.

Changing theTransportation PolicyDebateRoad-building destroys wildlife habitat,and contributes to air and water pollu-tion. Friends of the Earth is determinedto shift transportation dollars from high-way construction into expanding publictransportation. This year, Friends of theEarth and other activists put the pres-sure on Congress to increase funding forrail and transit, and decrease the fund-ing for new highway projects. Congresshas not made a decision to date.

We also achieved a significant victorywhen a federal judge ordered workstopped on the Circumferential Highwayin Vermont. The highway would runthrough 50 acres of Vermont’s mostendangered ecosystems. Also, thegrowth triggered by this road couldaccelerate wetland loss and damageapproximately 25 streams, which flowinto Lake Champlain.

DC EnvironmentalNetworkThe DC Environmental Network (DCEN)is committed to cleaning up the Districtof Columbia’s rivers, stopping deadlychemicals from being transportedthrough its neighborhoods, bringingclean, renewable energy to its homesand making D.C. a model for the nation.The network is spearheaded by Friendsof the Earth and includes more than 400District area citizen and activist groupsworking to improve the environment inD.C.

DCEN has had significant achievementsover the past year. Among other things,the network:

• Organized a coalition with over 100partners to support clean energy leg-islation in the District. Our coalitionhelped convince members of theD.C. Council to introduce the bill,which will phase-in a mix of cleanenergy alternatives, such as wind andsolar, over the next 20 years.

• Highlighted the threat of transportingchlorine gas and other chemicalsthrough the city and sparked theintroduction of legislation to re-routedangerous cargo.

• Educated hundreds of District resi-dents at numerous luncheons, forumsand briefings on how the environmentimpacts their health and safety.

Convinced Congress to reject funding for a fleet ofSuper Sonic Transport planes (SSTs) – airplanesthat use two to three times more fuel per passengerthan the average airplane – saving the UnitedStates $10 million worth of extra fuel each day.

Launched an internationalcampaign to save whales.Whaling was banned in 1982.

Convinced Congress to stop the Clinch RiverBreeder Reactor program, a $2 billion nuclearreactor that would have increased our radioactivewaste burden & contributed to the production ofnuclear weapons.

Launched our campaign to protect rivers, which ledto stopping over 150 dams and destructive waterprojects of the Army Corps of Engineers & theBureau of Reclamation.

When you shop for groceries orcosmetics, you shouldn’t have toworry about which productscontain carcinogens, chemicalslinked to birth defects, orgenetically engineeredingredients. Friends of the Earthis working to make sure the foodyou eat and the products you useeveryday are safer, cleaner andgreener.

Removing ChemicalsLinked to Cancer fromPersonal Care ProductsForty companies have signed our pledgeto make toxin-free cosmetics and per-sonal care products available in all of themarkets they serve – and we have onlyjust gotten started. Our government doesnot require safety tests for cosmetics, likethey do for prescription drugs and food.And, our government does little to regu-late chemicals at all. The EuropeanUnion (EU) has a new law that requirescosmetics companies to remove chemi-cals linked to cancer and birth defectsfrom personal care products bySeptember 2004. When they reformulatetheir products in the EU, these compa-nies could make these safer productsavailable to customers around the worldas well.

As part of our Cancer Prevention pro-gram, which aims to prevent the environ-mental causes of the disease, Friends ofthe Earth and our partners havelaunched the Campaign for SafeCosmetics. The Campaign for SafeCosmetics is calling on all cosmeticsand personal care products companiesto follow the EU’s example and protect

our health by phasing out the use ofchemicals linked to cancer, birth defectsand other health concerns in every mar-ket they serve.

Safer Foods & SaferFarms: Preventing MadCowFriends of the Earth sounded the alarmin warning letters to the U.S. Food &Drug Administration (FDA) on two occa-sions prior to the discovery of the firstcase of mad cow disease in the UnitedStates. Our research indicated that gov-ernment regulations and enforcementwere inadequate to prevent the disease.Unfortunately, when the first case of madcow disease was discovered inDecember 2003, our concerns provedwell-founded. Friends of the Earth wasquick to react with a demand that federalagencies implement better regulations toprevent the spread of this disease. Ourmedia outreach and analysis helped shiftthe debate from stop-gap measures tosubstantive reforms. The FDA reacted byagreeing to tighten and enforce the cat-tle cannibalism ban – the most likely waythe disease is spread – and marginallyincreasing testing for the disease. Butthese reforms are not enough.

Friends of the Earth founded the MadCow Prevention Alliance in January2004. The alliance has pressured theBush administration on numerous fronts,calling for implementation of a muchmore aggressive testing and identifica-tion regime to prevent infected meat fromgetting to our supermarkets. Moreover,Friends of the Earth has championed theright of companies to test their cattle formad cow disease, something the FDAhas prohibited.

Keeping Drugs andChemicals out of theFood SupplyRice, wheat and other crops can now begenetically engineered to grow birth con-trol medication or insulin. Unfortunately,there is no way of preventing these “bio-pharmaceuticals” or biopharm cropsfrom cross-pollinating or drifting intoadjoining fields or even further. No onewants to end up with a prescription drugin their cornflakes. But, with little govern-ment oversight or regulation, there is areal risk that the food supply will becomecontaminated. Friends of the Earth isworking vigorously to stop open-airplantings of these potentially dangerouscrops.

Friends of the Earth helped stop twoproposed field trials of pharmaceuticalcorn in Texas (on up to 725 acres) bysubmitting a science-based critique ofU.S. Department of Agriculture’s environ-mental assessment.

Friends of the Earth also provided criti-cal support to a coalition effort that halt-ed a proposed 120-acre biopharmaceu-tical rice field trial in California (whichwould have been the largest open airbiopharm crop planting to date). Wethen took the lead in writing an in-depthreport on the hazards of pharmaceuticalrice. The California Department of HealthServices promised to seek funding toaddress our concerns after our reportwas featured in the Sacramento Bee andthe Contra Costa Times.

At a media event highlightingthe Bush administration’s failureto safeguard the food supplyfrom mad cow disease, weasked President Bush, “Are youchicken about testing beef?”

Working with our partner groupsin 70 countries, Friends of theEarth fights to protect theenvironment and people’s rights.We challenge corporations,public and private financialinstitutions, and trade negotiatorsto act in ways that will protectour planet’s resources for thefuture, rather than destroyingthem.

Stopping Harmful Oiland Mining ProjectsLast year, in response to advocacy byFriends of the Earth and our internationalpartners, a major independent review ofWorld Bank financing for oil, gas andmining projects led to worldwide scrutinyby citizens, policymakers, and the mediaof the harmful environmental impactscaused by these projects in developingcountries and their failure to contribute topoverty reduction.

As a result of the review, the Bank hasfor the first time made a formal commit-ment to increase its financing for renew-able energy projects in developing coun-tries. Although the World Bank has notyet adopted many of the review’s recom-mendations, Friends of the Earth will usethe review’s findings to press for moremeaningful reforms at the Bank and atother taxpayer-supported internationalinstitutions.

Greening Private Banks Since 1997, Friends of the Earth hasbeen pressing large private banks toadopt stronger environmental and social

protections when lending for projects indeveloping countries, including oil, min-ing and gas projects. Our leadership onthese issues has led to greater scrutinyof the role that private banks play infinancing environmental destruction andunsustainable development around theworld. As a result, since 2003, morethan 25 private banks, includingCitigroup and Bank of America, havesigned onto a set of principles that com-mit them to follow key World Bank envi-ronmental and social protection policies.In the coming years, Friends of the Earthwill continue to spearhead the effort tomonitor implementation of their commit-ments.

Accounting forEnvironmental ImpactsOnly when corporate leaders face thetrue financial costs of their environmentalimpacts will they be forced to make moreenvironmentally-friendly decisions.Friends of the Earth continued its pio-neering work to ensure that companiesfully disclose environmental issues intheir financial statements. Friends of theEarth’s leadership also encouragedleading institutional investors like theCalifornia Public Employee RetirementSystem pension fund to join the call forfull environmental disclosure in corporatefinancial statements.

Pressing for Fair GlobalTrade RulesUsing the North American Free TradeAgreement (NAFTA), multinational corpo-rations have challenged environmentalstandards, such as water quality, beforesecretive international tribunals. Whenthe World Trade Organization met in

Published a comprehensive analysis revealing thatthe federal government spends only 2 cents on thedollar to protect the environment. Launched theGreen Scissors campaign to cut governmentspending that pollutes the environment.

September 2003, Friends of the Earthand our international network mountedsignificant opposition to a similar set ofglobal rules that would have given evenmore rights to multinational corporationsto challenge environmental laws. A num-ber of developing countries refused toopen negotiations on these new rules,resulting in a collapse of the meetingitself. Then, during November negotia-tions for another trade agreement forWestern Hemisphere countries, LatinAmerican governments also resistedmany of the same types of provisions.

Pressing for CorporateAccountability The Organization for EconomicCooperation and Development’s“Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises”

are a set of international standards formultinational corporations’ activities. TheGuidelines contain a number of impor-tant recommendations to enable compa-nies to protect human rights, workersand the environment. While Friends ofthe Earth is convinced that the mosteffective way to prevent irresponsiblecorporate behavior is to enact legallybinding rules at the national and interna-tional levels, the Guidelines’ complaintprocedure offers a unique forum toaddress harmful corporate behavior. In2003, Friends of the Earth’s produced a“Guide to the Guidelines” to help com-munities and other organizations betterunderstand how to use the complaintprocedure.

Pressured the International Monetary Fund tocommission its first-ever external review of itsenvironmentally harmful structural adjustment loanconditions for the poorest countries.

Legis

lative

Our approach and our principlesare straightforward: public landsbelong to the American people,and it shouldn’t pay to pollute ourenvironment. This year, Friendsof the Earth’s vocal presence onCapitol Hill has helped safeguardpublic lands from corporateexploitation, cut subsidies forpolluters, and preserved federalfunding for programs that protectour environment and naturalresources. Friends of the Earth’scutting-edge analysis of theimpacts that federal tax andspending policy have on theenvironment have helped us winimportant fights in Congress.

Promoting a CleanEnergy FutureAs part of our Green ScissorsCampaign, Friends of the Earth and ourallies stopped Congress from passingthe Bush administration’s energy plan,preventing it from coming to a final voteon the Senate floor on two separateoccasions. The bill would have rolledback the clock on environmental protec-tion, weakening clean air and water lawsand speeding oil and gas drilling on sen-sitive public lands. Friends of the Earth’slobbying and analysis of the bill’s morethan $50 billion in handouts to America’sworst polluting industries was a key fac-tor in the environmental community’ssuccess in stopping the bill. We also rantwo full-page newspaper ads in USAToday and the New York Times to high-light problems with the energy bill.

Safeguarding a NationalTreasureThrough our Green Scissors campaign—which teams environmentalists with tax-payer watchdogs—Friends of the Earthhelped pass an amendment offered byReps. Steve Chabot (R-OH) and RobAndrews (D-NJ) to the annual InteriorDepartment spending bill preventing theForest Service from building new loggingroads in the Tongass. The TongassNational Forest in Alaska is the crownjewel of our national forest system. Ourlargest national forest and the biggestintact temperate rainforest in the world,the Tongass is home to grizzlies, salmonand bald eagles. The Bush administra-tion has attempted to remove theTongass from protection under the land-mark Roadless Area Conservation Rule,promoting costly new roads for commer-cial logging even though the ForestService already loses $35 million loggingthe Tongass each year.

Preserving Funding forEnvironmentalProgramsJust as important as strong environmen-tal laws are the dollars that fund theirimplementation: without adequateresources, agencies like theEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA)are unable to effectively protect our envi-ronment. It’s no secret that the Bushadministration’s series of tax cuts haveimpacted important domestic programslike the EPA. This year members ofCongress would have made mattersworse by rigging the rules of the federalbudget process, requiring deep cuts toenvironmental programs. If enacted, thisproposal would have locked in punitiveand disproportionate budget cuts to the

programs that clean our water and air,protect communities from toxic wastesites, and safeguard parks, wildliferefuges and other national treasures.Friends of the Earth teamed with envi-ronmental, labor, education and health-care groups to defeat the proposal whenit came to a vote on the House floor.

Last year, we helped block the Bushadministration’s attempt to cut approxi-mately 200 staff from the EPA’s enforce-ment division for the second year in arow. Due to the environmental communi-ty’s effectiveness over the past twoyears, the Bush administration didn’t pro-pose the same deep cuts to enforcementin their budget this spring.

We are undoubtedly facing a hostileadministration and congressional leader-ship, forcing us to play creative defenseagainst lawmakers who will stop at noth-ing to weaken 30 years of environmentalprogress. With bipartisan allies inCongress, strong analysis, a hard-hittingphilosophy and creative tactics, we’vemanaged to win important environmentalbattles despite this difficult political cli-mate. We will employ the same success-ful strategies, and continue to enlist abipartisan group of congressional cham-pions as we move into the next year.

This ad ran in USA Today aspart of our campaign thatsuccessfully blocked the Bushadministration’s energy bill.

Convinced Congress to cut funding for an arm ofthe World Bank that underwrites environmentallyharmful projects worldwide.

Launched two landmark legal cases to addressclimate change: One demanding that the U.S.Export-Import Bank stop financing projects thatcontribute to global warming and a second suitdemanding that the U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency regulate carbon dioxide emissions.

Organized more than 900 demonstrations acrossthe U.S. and Canada to pressure Kraft Foods toremove genetically engineered ingredients from itsproducts.

Safe Cosmetics Campaign AchievesResults

The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, whichlaunched earlier this year, has alreadyachieved commitments from more thanforty companies to remove chemicals thatare linked to cancer, mutation or birthdefects in cosmetics and personal careproducts in every market they serve.

September 2004Protecting Human Health

In a full page USA Today ad, Friends ofthe Earth and coalition partners in theCampaign for Safe Cosmetics demand-ed that Revlon, L’Oreal and Unilevercome clean about whether they plan toremove toxic chemicals that are bannedin the European Union from personalcare products sold on American shelves.

August 2004Challenging Corporate Misconduct

Friend of the Earth and the UK-basedgroup Rights and Accountability inDevelopment filed a formal complaintunder the Organization for EconomicCooperation and Development’s“Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises”with the U.S. State Department againstthree American companies accused ofhelping to fuel the war in the DemocraticRepublic of the Congo. A UnitedNations Panel of Experts leveled thesecharges in 2002 but the StateDepartment has yet to undertake anindependent inquiry into the panel’s alle-gations.

July 2004Government Accountability

Friends of the Earth exposed the poorenvironmental record and ethical mis-steps of William Myers, President Bush’snominee to a lifetime seat on the NinthCircuit Court of Appeals. We helpedconvince the Senate to block the Myersnomination. Myers is a former cattleindustry lobbyist whose recent tenure asthe Interior Department’s top lawyer wasplagued by ethical concerns.

Protecting Endangered Species

U.S. District Judge James Reddenissued a preliminary injunction in Oregonprohibiting the Army Corps of Engineersfrom curtailing the late summer spill overfrom dams on the Columbia and SnakeRivers. Curtailing the spill from the damswould have jeopardized the critical habi-tat of Chinook salmon and especiallyimpacted juvenile fish.

Challenging Wall Street

Friends of the Earth worked with SenatorJon Corzine (D-N.J.) and other membersof Congress to organize a symposium oncorporate disclosure of environmentalinformation in financial statements andSecurity and Exchange Commission(SEC) filings. The event increased pres-sure on the SEC to address this topic.Friends of the Earth has been campaign-ing for the past four years to achieveadequate disclosure of environmentalmatters, especially on the financialimpact of climate change on companies.

June 2004Polluters Should Pay

Friends of the Earth released the fourthannual Green Watchdog report, whichproposes 10 budget reforms forCalifornia. The Green Watchdog propos-als would save hundreds of millions ofdollars a year in California’s general fundrevenue and generate additional fundingfor air and water quality programs, andeliminate environmentally harmful taxgiveaways.

Clean Water Victory in Texas

A federal district court judge in Texasruled in our favor in a case filed againstChevron in 1994. The judge found thatChevron had committed 65 violations ofits water permit. Friends of the Earthfiled suit against the Chevron ChemicalCompany for violating its water pollutionpermit at its Orange, Texas polyethyleneplant and polluting Lake Sabine.

May 2004Stopping Sprawl

A Vermont judge ruled in Friends of theEarth’s favor when he ordered workstopped on a controversial highway slat-

11

ed to encircle Burlington, Vermont. Thejudge ruled that the government violatedthe National Environmental Policy Actand other laws in approving and fundingsegments of the highway. This projectwould have fueled sprawl and pollutionat a cost to Vermonters of $223 million –while shaving only seven seconds off theaverage commute time.

April 2004Defeating Anti-Environmental EnergyPolicy

Friends of the Earth and allies kept upthe pressure and Senate leaders onceagain failed to generate the votes need-ed to pass comprehensive energy legis-lation, falling even shorter of the markthan the previous year’s losing vote.

March 2004Exposing Corruption

The Interior Department’s Office of theInspector General concluded in its inves-tigation of Deputy Secretary of Interior J.Steven Griles that there were some ethi-cal concerns with Griles’ involvement inpublic lands decisions that involveddeals with his former clients. This investi-gation was launched at the request ofSen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.).Lieberman made the request after reve-lations from Friends of the Earth thatGriles continued to meet with formerenergy company clients and his formeremployer – an industry lobbying firm.

February 2004Championing Environmental Funding

Friends of the Earth criticized the presi-dent’s 2005 budget for making deepcuts to environmental programs, andparticularly for targeting theEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA)with the budget’s most crippling cuts.

January 2004Rail Cargo Safety in our Nation’sCapital

Friends of the Earth convinced theDistrict of Columbia’s city council tointroduce legislation that will require

shippers of hazardous materials by railand truck to obtain a permit and to followspecific rules for routes and travel times.The District of Columbia, which is a high-threat city, regularly sees 90-ton chlorinetank cars rolling through the city within astone’s throw of the Capitol building.

Clean Water Fight in the District ofColumbia

Friends of the Earth filed suit chargingthat pollution caps approved and issuedby the Environmental Protection Agencyare insufficient to clean up the AnacostiaRiver. The river is currently so severelypolluted that the government warnsDistrict of Columbia residents of healthrisks from swimming or fishing in itswaters.

December 2003Taking on the World Bank’s Supportfor Destructive Oil and Gas Projects

Friends of the Earth took the lead inpressing the World Bank to commissionan independent review of the Bank’sfinancing for harmful oil and gas projectsin developing countries around theworld. Friends of the Earth played a keyrole during the two-year review, whichculminated in a report with powerful rec-ommendations to protect local communi-ties and critical natural habitats and toincrease funding for renewable energyprojects.

Improving the Safety of the FoodSupply

In response to the discovery of mad cowdisease in the food supply, Friends of theEarth immediately pulled together agroup of consumer and animal advocacygroups to develop recommendations forpreventing the spread of the disease.We developed a ten-step checklist thatwould vastly improve the safety of thefood supply and submitted it to the Foodand Drug Administration.

Friends of the Earth ran this full-page ad inUSA Today. The ad was part of a larger effortby the environmental community whichgenerated the most public commentsopposing an EPA rulemaking ever recorded.

Friends of the Earth ran this adin USA Today with theCampaign for Safe Cosmetics,demanding that Revlon, L'Oreal,and Unilever remove toxicchemicals from personal careproducts.
