Educational Efforts
LCV publishes the National Environmental Scorecard to educate the public about key environmental issues and to inform voters about the environmental voting records of their Congressional representatives. Building on the Environmental Scorecard, LCV draws special attention to those members of Congress having the most pro-environment and anti-environment records through its "Environmental Champions" and "Dirty Dozen" lists.
In addition to tracking voting records and endorsing or opposing candidates, the organization contributes to and participates in political and election campaigns. LCV strongly opposed many of President George W. Bush's policies which it believes adversely affect the environment. In June of 2003, they graded President Bush's report card as an F, due to his administration's Environmental performance. They claim that "Bush favors corporate interests over the public's interest in a clean, safe and healthy environment."

Famous quotes containing the words educational and/or efforts:
“The educational system in large countries will always be utterly mediocre, for the same reason that the cooking in large kitchens is mediocre at best.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“It could be clearly proved that by a practical nullification [by the South] of the Fifteenth Amendment the Republicans have for several years been deprived of a majority in both the House and Senate. The failure of the South to faithfully observe the Fifteenth Amendment is the cause of the failure of all efforts towards complete pacification. It is on this hook that the bloody shirt now hangs.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
