Mission, Vision, Values

Mission:
Our mission is to engage North Carolina in initiatives that advance environmental health and justice by advocating for safe alternatives to harmful pesticides and chemicals.

Vision: 
We envision a toxic-free North Carolina that is part of a just and equitable global community where human and environmental health are valued, respected, and enjoyed by all.

Values: 

• Universality of Human Rights: everyone has a right to safe, healthy food and an environment free of toxicants

• Sustainability: Current needs must be met without jeopardizing the health or availability of resources for future generations

• Accountability: Polluters must be accountable for the risks and harms
  toxicants impose on human and environmental health; and
  decision-makers must be accountable for policies that protect the
  safety of all communities.

• Accessibility: Information about toxicants should be readily available to all North Carolinians

• Vitality: Socially, economically and environmentally friendly products should be promoted, with emphasis on small and moderate scale local production
