Acknowledgments

This report would not have been possible without the support and generosity of NRDC’s more than 400,000 members. We would like to express our appreciation to the People of the Earth Foundation for its generous support.

Many colleagues at NRDC made invaluable contributions to the research and writing reflected in this study. The authors would especially like to thank Patricio Silva, Jeff Fiedler, Niel Lawrence, Hal Candee, Barry Nelson, Johanna Wald, Kathy Nemsick, Sharon Buccino, Chuck Clusen, Dan Lashof, Sheryl Carter, David Goldstein, Jacqueline Hamilton, Erik Olson, David Adelman, Sarah Chasis, and Lisa Speer for their analytical contributions; and Elliott Negin and Liz Heyd for their editorial comments. In addition, we gratefully recognize the assistance and insight provided by key colleagues at other environmental organizations, including in particular, Lexi Shultz and Anna Aurilio at the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, Tom Uniack and Mary Beth Beetham at Defenders of Wildlife, Courtney Cuff at Friends of the Earth, and Elizabeth Thompson at the Environmental Defense Fund.
