About Us

Simple Steps is a new initiative by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) for people who are looking for easy, everyday actions they can do to protect our health, our homes -- and our planet. Whether you have a minute, a morning, or a month, you can take simple steps in your life to really make a difference.

NRDC is a national, nonprofit organization of scientists, lawyers and environmental specialists dedicated to protecting public health and the environment. Founded in 1970, NRDC has 1.2 million members and online activists, served from offices in New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Beijing.

NRDC not only brings information directly to you to help you make simple, better choices in your daily life, but our expert scientists, doctors, attorneys and advocates tackle the big issues at the government and manufacturer level to make sure policies are in place to protect you.

Worth Magazine has named NRDC one of America's 100 best charities, and Charity Navigator has given NRDC four stars (out of a possible four). Learn more about NRDC on http://www.nrdc.org/.
