STATE CAMPAIGNS
We conduct strategic issue campaigns in Maine to improve environmental health and phase in safer alternatives to dangerous chemicals and polluting practices.
An example is the Maine Zero Mercury Campaign that led to the phase-out in the use of mercury thermometers, thermostats and switches in favor of mercury-free alternatives that are effective, available and affordable.

PUBLIC HEALTH PARTNERSHIPS
We build alliances with public health organizations to improve environmental health capacity in Maine and nationally through improved surveillance, funding, training, research and so on.
We are part of a growing movement, for example, to expand environmental health tracking so that the environmental risk factors to chronic diseases can be identified more clearly and prevented in a more timely manner.

REGIONAL, NATIONAL and GLOBAL ALLIANCES
We actively participate in several networks working for change beyond Maine when they add value to our local work, help prevent pollution from out-of-state sources and enable us to disseminate our successful models and policy precedents to the benefit of others.
This includes work with Health Care Without Harm, an international coalition working for environmentally responsible health care that has helped hospitals to eliminate mercury and steadily reduce the use of PVC plastic.
