We Advocate Thorough Environmental Review is a grassroots, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to protecting Mount Shasta’s waters and other natural attributes for the benefit of current and future generations. In our 11+ years as an organization (8+ years as a nonprofit) we have focused on protecting our water resources from depletion by extraction and corporate privatization, protecting surface and groundwater from contamination by industrial activity, and protecting the environment from other inappropriate and polluting industrial/commercial activities.
We believe that:
* “Environmentalism” in the 21st century cannot exist without addressing economic and social justice issues.
* Achieving social, economic, environmental, and climate justice requires confronting the dysfunctional economic and political systems that are ruining the planet and stonewalling efforts to change.
* Local issues are not strictly local; they are impacted by what happens regionally, statewide, nationally, and globally. And what we do in our communities can have far-reaching impacts around the globe.
