Networking: Overview — Environmental Health Fund

We are proud to support networking throughout the environmental health movement. Since the late 1990s, EHF has been articulating a strategy to create a coordinated interface between market campaigns, policy initiatives, shareholder strategies, environmental testing, scientific advocacy, new constituency development, opposition research, and global communications to redirect our petrochemically-addicted economy onto a healthier and sustainable path. We helped develop and participate in several successful broad-based campaigns that are described here. We have been effective leaders in developing NGO consensus around campaign strategy and facilitating rapid response actions produced by many organizations working in unison.
