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:
“Class is rarely talked about in the United States; nowhere is there a more intense silence about the reality of class differences than in educational settings.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“Every new stroke of civilization has cost the lives of countless brave men, who have fallen defeated by the “dragon,” in their efforts to win the apples of the Hesperides, or the fleece of gold. Fallen in their efforts to overcome the old, half sordid savagery of the lower stages of creation, and win the next stage.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
