Your support of NRDC made a world of difference to our environment in 2012.
Here are just a few of last year's victories that you made possible.
We helped persuade Mexico to grant a new level of protection to key lands surrounding the
gray whale nursery in San Ignacio Lagoon.
We prevailed on President Obama to reject a crucial permit for the destructive Keystone
XL tar sands pipeline.
We helped win new clean car standards that will double the fuel economy of the average
vehicle on the road.
We successfully petitioned the White House to support an upgrade in international protection
for polar bears.
We won a major courtroom victory that will limit the widespread overuse of antibiotics
in livestock.
We helped save the only living coral reef in Mexico's Gulf of California from plans
for a massive resort complex.
We fought for and won new, life-saving standards that will reduce mercury, lead and other toxic
pollutants from coal-burning power plants.
We helped defeat ExxonMobil's plan to turn a pristine stretch of the Rocky Mountains
into an industrial transportation corridor.
We led the successful drive to create a chain of underwater parks off the coast of California
-- one of the most ambitious ocean protection efforts in history.
But NRDC's fight for nature never ends.
Right now, we are gearing up to stop new attacks on our clean air and water and our planet's
last wild places.
You can help us win this year's victories by making a special year-end gift right now.
Thank you for making a world of difference with NRDC.
