About Us

The Missouri Coalition for the Environment is Missouri’s independent, citizens environmental organization for clean water, clean air, clean energy, and a healthy environment.

Our Mission

The Missouri Coalition for the Environment works to protect and restore the environment through education, public engagement, and legal action.

The Coalition began its work in 1969 in St. Louis as the region’s first independent citizens’ group created to address a broad range of environmental policy issues.  A volunteer Board of Directors determines the specific priorities and goals of the organization.

We are a trusted environmental advocacy agency, an informed educator, a passionate advocate, and a state-wide partner supporting allied organizations and initiatives around the state. We deliver vital information to thousands of Missourians on issues that affect our food, our water, our air, our health, and the environment.

We promote a common sense approach to protecting and restoring the environment  and upholding individuals’ rights to make informed, independent decisions about environmental issues and policy.
