Environmental issues are destructive means towards the environment that are caused by human actions. Environmentalism is the idea of protecting the environment through education, advocacy, and activism. Things like Global Warming, Deforestation, Oil Spills, Nuclear Issues, Animal Extinction and Fossil Fuels are all addressed.

Who runs/works for this organization? The organization is ran by an executive team of leading experts in the fields of conservation, partnership development, philanthropy, marketing, and corporate relations. The group of 152 executive team members mentor student activists from the age of 15 to young adults to become more aware of the seizing issues of our environment.

What is the SCA's objective? The SCA's objective is to protect, enhance, renew, and restore national parks, marine sanctuaries, cultural landmarks, and urban green spaces in the USA. They solely focus on "creating future stewards of our land, a healthier environment and-ultimately-a better world".

What strategies/programs/projects are they using to meet this objective? 

In 2013 alone the SCA has achieved: 

• 1.5 million service hours throughout the 50 states
  
• planting about 800 acres of vegetation
  
• maintaining 10 million feet of trails
  
• monitoring over 1 million fish and other animals
• and completed nearly 25 500 water quality surveys

Are the strategies of the organization working? I believe for what the organizations visions are, they are doing really well. The idea that one person could start something with so much success is really amazing. By looking at the achievements in the past year alone, it is outstanding for only having 152 paid staff. People seem thrilled to volunteer their time to the organization, which is a whole other way to measure success. If they could do one thing differently, I would advertise what they are thriving to do, because up to the point of researching this topic, I had not heard about it before.

How is this organization funded? Funding comes from online donations, and also generous business and private donations. You can also purchases products on the SCA online store, I would assume most proceeds go to helping the organization grow.
