Environment Washington Oceans Advocate\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Environment Washington is a citizen-based environmental advocacy organization and a project of Environment America, a national network of 30 state environmental groups with one mission \u2014 to change our country and our world to be a greener, healthier place. We believe there\u2019s something special about Washington \u2014 something worth protecting and preserving for future generations. Whether it\u2019s our majestic forests, our rocky and iconic coastline, wild and scenic rivers, or our local parks, Washington’s natural wonders enrich our lives in countless ways.<\/p>\n

And yet it\u2019s no secret that the earth is in trouble. For too long, our society has degraded the quality of the air we breathe and the water we drink, diminished the wildlife and wild places we love, and destabilized the climate we need to survive. Despite the challenges, Environment Washington and our national network keep finding multiple ways to make a positive difference for the planet. We\u2019ve won campaigns in Washington to reduce the use of single-use plastics, cut climate pollution and expand clean energy.<\/p>\n

In every campaign we run,\u00a0we put the earth first.<\/strong>\u00a0Nothing else matters if we don\u2019t have a healthy planet. Restoring and protecting the environment is our only mission. We also know that\u00a0lasting progress for the planet comes one challenging step at a time.<\/strong>\u00a0We have a bold vision of a greener world. But we know that making a difference often requires compromise. We also know that, to make progress sustainable,\u00a0we need to reach out to everybody, not just the people who already agree with us.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

We are currently recruiting an\u00a0Oceans Advocate\u00a0<\/strong>who is driven by these same goals\u00a0<\/strong>to join our team, and help oversee our campaign to save the Southern Resident orcas. The Southern Resident orcas, who make their home in the Puget Sound, are starving. Fewer than 80 remain today and they are at risk of going extinct without urgent action. To save the orcas, we need to save their food source\u2013the Chinook salmon\u2013 by breaching four dams on the Lower Snake River. Without this critical step, we may lose these orcas forever.<\/p>\n
