Why does it appeal to me?
Not only does NRDC work tirelessly to protect wildlife and natural lands, it also advocates for less obvious - but just as important - issues like how the way we build our cities and suburbs impacts health, air pollution and consumption. I like that they do not limit their mission to what most people would expect an "environmental" organization to cover, but they really think deeply about issues that impact our daily lives, even if we're unaware of them. If you're interested in urban planning, you might be interested in F Kaid Benfield's blog, which covers a whole host of city, economic and environmental issues in a thought provoking way.
