Practical Solutions
Our scientists and engineers develop and implement innovative, practical solutions to some of our planet’s most pressing problems—from combating global warming and developing sustainable ways to feed, power, and transport ourselves, to fighting misinformation, advancing racial equity, and reducing the threat of nuclear war.
You + Science = Results
We rely on individuals like you for funding, not the government or corporations, which preserves our independence and integrity. With more than 500,000 supporters—parents, businesspeople, scientists, engineers, teachers, and students—we’re united by a central concern: that we need sound scientific analysis—not political calculation or corporate hype—to create a healthy, safe, and sustainable future.
