Green America is a not-for-profit membership organization founded in 1982. (Until January 2009, we were known as Co-op America.)

Our mission is to harness economic power—the strength of consumers, investors, businesses, and the marketplace—to create a socially just and environmentally sustainable society.

What Makes Green America Unique

• We focus on economic strategies—economic action to solve social and environmental problems.
• We mobilize people in their economic roles—as consumers, investors, workers, business leaders.
• We empower people to take personal and collective action
• We work on issues of social justice and environmental responsibility. We see these issues as completely linked in the quest for a sustainable world. It’s what we mean when we say “green.”
• We work to stop abusive practices and to create healthy, just and sustainable practices.
