Environmental NGOs: An Information Database

ENTS Senior Capstone Project
June 2003
For the last couple of years I have been curious about environmental non-governmental organizations. I have wondered about the various campaigns that they work on, what they actually accomplish, where your money goes if you donate, how they are organized and who gets to work for them, if they take interns, and most importantly how they differ from each other. As I leave Carleton to enter the real world, I feel it is my responsibility to be an environmentally and socially conscious person (after all I signed the Graduation Pledge). Seriously though, I have been interested in the environment and helping to save it since before I came to Carleton. As I thought about ideas for a capstone project earlier this year, an examination of environmental NGOs popped out as information that I wish I had known while looking for summer internships, but also something that I could still find useful as I graduate because I may one day have a job that allows me to financially support these organizations, or more likely, I may be working for one of them.
