Stand.earth, formerly ForestEthics, is a grassroots environmental organization founded in 2000 to protect endangered forests by influencing corporate policies and government laws in the U.S. and Canada. Using public education, advocacy, protests, and non-violent action, it tackles issues like pipelines, oil trains, and emissions from the clothing and shipping industries.
Headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, with U.S. offices in Bellingham, Washington, and San Francisco, California, the organization is led by Executive Director Todd J. Paglia. Stand.earth is known for campaigns like Victoria’s Dirty Secret and Do Not Mail, which targeted junk mail in the 2000s.
