The ALERT Project is a project of Earth Island Institute, a nonprofit organization incorporated under the laws of California. EIII’s mission is to support environmental action projects and build the next generation of environmental leaders in order to achieve solutions to environmental crises threatening the survival of life on Earth.
EII acts as fiscal sponsor for the ALERT project.
We focus on some of the most common pollutants in our society – oil and oil-based chemicals – and communities most at-risk from daily exposures or exposures from industrial releases or spills.
By aiming to prevent the debilitating chronic diseases that plague those most at risk, our work contributes to building public awareness and passing stronger laws to protect everyone, everywhere, from toxic oil-chemical exposures.
