A new program—E-Dinner-- has been developed to feed America’s hungry by having verified needy people collect the nations surplus food DIRECTLY FROM FOOD PURVEYORS for their consumption. There is no need for the transport, refrigeration, recooking or re-serving of this excess food, all of which takes manpower and money. After being vetted and pre qualified, they will simply be notified by participating food purveyors (restaurants, arenas, grocery stores, etc.) of the availability of excess food at the food purveyors’ locations nearby. They (and the food purveyor) will be given a code and pick the food up within a stated period of time.

The result is a two way “Win” for all involved. First and foremost, the hungry get fed quality excess food. Second, the food purveyors will see a significant reduction in the enormous cost of the disposal of food waste, as well as gaining a tax write-off for the donation of this excess food to a qualified 501 (c)(3) charity.

Directly connects the hungry to surplus food, reducing waste and cutting costs.

Forests Forever was founded in 1989 during the historic campaign to save the Headwaters ancient redwood forest in Humboldt County, California. Although we didn’t get all the forest saved, 7500 acres including several large virgin groves were eventually acquired and can be visited today. Our efforts helped galvanize the broad-based public awareness and outcry that led to this and many other forest victories across the state.


For almost 30 years we have been rallying Californians in defense of the state’s 17 million acres of woodland ecosystems and watersheds. We accomplish this through year-round education, grassroots organizing, litigation, work in elections, and executive-branch and legislative advocacy.

In 2016 several of Forests Forever's proudest accomplishments centered on the protection of California's fast-disappearing oak woodlands.

For the roughly seven million acres of oak woodlands in the state, the vast majority are on private land, enjoy scanty or no protection, and are rapidly being bulldozed to make way for housing developments, vineyards, highways and shopping malls.

In Mendocino County we played a key role in qualifying, then promoting, a voter initiative that effectively would ban the large-scale tree-poisoning method known as “hack and squirt.” On June 7 it passed on a solid 62 percent majority!

We also helped to qualify a ballot measure in Napa County—the Water, Forest, and Oak Woodland Protection Initiative. It would establish no-cut stream buffers while limiting the destruction of oak woodlands.

We were among the founding members of a new coalition in 2016, the California Oaks Coalition.

And in the City of Richmond, we helped to qualify and then to win a citizens initiative that protected some 430 acres of oak forest and savanna threatened with development adjacent to Wildcat Canyon Regional Park.


In 2014 and 2015 Forests Forever spent a great deal of effort playing a leading role in what has become a momentous struggle to fully realize what is our latest—and could be our last—great opportunity to thoroughly overhaul California’s broken system that regulates logging practices.

With letters and calls from our many supporters, coupled with the relentless pressure of our policy advocate, state officials began to listen and after years of advocacy work, legislation, and grassroots organizing California's first forestry-reform pilot project got underway in December 2016. “Cumulative watershed effects” assessment has been a fundamental requirement of the state’s forestry laws, but honored only in the breach for some 40 years. Now with the pilot project finally begun there's much reason to look for a positive outcome.

For one thing, Forests Forever's forest policy advocate Richard Gienger has been selected as one of the 21-person Pilot Project Working Group that will oversee the project it should wrap up in about two years.

These are a few of the more-recent examples of Forests Forever’s advocacy work, at all levels of government, as well as in the public-education arena.

Climate change is a major investor risk that is material, undiversifiable, and preventable.
The recently released report from the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) could not be clearer: we are on track to climate disaster, and we have just a decade to avert the worst of it. The report sounds the alarm about the dangers of failing to limit warming to 1.5°C; by contrast, even 2°C of warming places hundreds of millions more people at risk of poverty, doubles the number of people living with water stress, subjects tens of millions more people to devastating heat waves, and more. Warming beyond 2°C  — the path we are currently on — will likely result in catastrophic harm, as global conflicts and mass migration produce unprecedented levels of social, political, and economic disruption. The recent U.S. 4th National Climate Assessment estimated that economic losses due to climate change could double those of the Great Recession of 2008, with hundreds of billions of dollars in damages annually due to heat-related deaths, sea level rise, decreased agricultural productivity, and more. Climate change puts investor assets at unprecedented risk, as experts agree that the effects will be large, negative, and undiversifiable. 

Responsible corporate governance is critical to addressing climate change. 
According to the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC], the only hope of averting climate disaster requires cutting carbon emissions in half across the entire global economy by 2030, and then reaching net-zero emissions worldwide by 2050. To achieve this, corporate boards urgently must become climate competent, ensuring that their business models, investment plans, executive incentives, and policy influence are aligned directly to this target. Climate competent boards are competent, independent, and diverse, capable of leading companies through the complexities our climate challenge requires. Particularly in times of business model transformation, regular refreshment of the board can be important to ensure that the current balance of director experiences and abilities matches the company’s current needs.  

Investors have the power, opportunity, and responsibility to act and hold public companies accountable.
Long-term investors must act to ensure that the companies in which they are invested are aligning themselves to a net-zero carbon future, mitigating risks to shareholders, and taking full advantage of the opportunities economy-wide decarbonization presents.  Indeed, for long-term investors, voting on the election of corporate directors is the single most direct and important action they can take to communicate their views to company leadership and ensure that companies are managing the challenges and opportunities of climate change.  Large investors with significant voting power bear particular responsibility for ensuring that boards are appropriately overseeing and planning for our net-zero carbon future.

Empowering investors to drive corporate accountability for a net-zero carbon future.
