<strong>Greening</strong><br />
Pennsylvania’s<br />
<strong>Economy</strong><br />
ANNUAL REPORT 2003 – 04
At first,<br />
the change was almost imperceptible…
But as time passed,<br />
the sky became a bit bluer<br />
the land a bit more lush<br />
the air and water cleaner<br />
And the economy began<br />
to turn green and grow.
We are honored to present the annual report for Citizens for<br />
<strong>Pennsylvania's</strong> Future.<br />
Thanks to the support of our members and donors as well as<br />
the work of our talented and dedicated staff, <strong>PennFuture</strong>’s<br />
efforts showed real progress not only for Pennsylvania’s environment,<br />
but increasingly for our Commonwealth’s economy. This<br />
report will show how we are working to strike both gold and<br />
green, marrying improving our environment to economic growth.<br />
Much of our success comes from our holistic approach to the<br />
work of protecting and promoting Pennsylvania’s environment and<br />
economy. Using all the strategies at our disposal – litigating cases<br />
before regulatory bodies and in local, state and federal courts,<br />
advocating and advancing legislative action on state and federal<br />
levels, serving as a watchdog over government at all levels, providing<br />
technical assistance to other environmental organizations and<br />
green businesses, using professional communications and marketing<br />
strategies, directly engaging and informing the public on<br />
issues and assisting citizens in public advocacy – means our work<br />
is more effective, and resonates throughout the state.<br />
None of this would be possible without the founding and<br />
sustaining support of The Heinz Endowments and the Pew<br />
Charitable Trusts, as well as ongoing support from the William<br />
Penn Foundation, Surdna Foundation, the Emily Hall Tremaine<br />
Foundation and the Energy Foundation – and thousands of<br />
individuals and organizations who have invested their trust,<br />
hope and dreams in <strong>PennFuture</strong>. Everyday, we strive to honor<br />
that trust and repay it with concrete results.<br />
A few of our accomplishments are detailed in this brief report,<br />
and many more details of our work are available on our website<br />
(www.pennfuture.org). But even though our successes have<br />
been many, there is far more to do. We still have pressing public<br />
health and environmental challenges, and we are committed to<br />
do all we can to meet those challenges. Your support will help<br />
us fully realize <strong>PennFuture</strong>’s mission – to create a just society<br />
where nature, communities and the economy thrive.<br />

Chairperson, Board of Directors<br />
President and CEO
Moving Pennsylvania’s economy into the 21st century<br />
means repairing the damage of the industrial age.<br />
Until recently, Pennsylvania had one of the nation’s<br />
most polluted environments – and one of the<br />
worst-performing economies. Recognizing that a growing economy<br />
depends on improving and protecting our environment,<br />
<strong>PennFuture</strong>’s work is geared to create a just future where nature,<br />
communities and the economy thrive.<br />
We must also create jobs and new markets to help our economy<br />
thrive. Pennsylvania’s burgeoning wind farms are just the most<br />
visible way that <strong>PennFuture</strong> is helping to green our economy.<br />
Taking land that has been strip mined and making it available<br />
for both farming and creating clean, renewable electricity,<br />
recovering the land, clearing the air and establishing good<br />
paying jobs – all by replacing electricity made the old dirty<br />
ways with modern, emission free energy.<br />
<strong>PennFuture</strong>’s tireless advocacy for public policies and public<br />
funding for renewable energy has been a key ingredient in making<br />
Pennsylvania a leader for the clean energy of the future.
<strong>PennFuture</strong>’s unparallel expertise in energy issues is<br />
nationally renowned. For example, during the massive<br />
Northeast blackout in August, 2003, <strong>PennFuture</strong>’s<br />
energy experts were called upon by national and international<br />
policymakers and journalists to discuss what went<br />
wrong and how similar blackouts could be avoided.<br />
And when our state had an opportunity to attract serious new<br />
investment in our wind energy industry, the Governor turned to<br />
<strong>PennFuture</strong> to help make the case for the state. As a result, the<br />
Spanish wind-energy company Gamesa agreed to locate its US<br />
headquarters and East Coast development offices in Philadelphia,<br />
to manufacture wind turbine blades from a facility to be built in<br />
Ebensburg, 20 miles from Johnstown, and to invest $40 Million<br />
in Pennsylvania facilities and several hundred MW of Gamesaowned<br />
wind farms. Approximately 1,000 jobs will result from<br />
Gamesa’s various investments in Pennsylvania, with enough new<br />
clean energy to power 130,000 homes<br />
But we recognized that, to move Pennsylvania into the top tier<br />
for smart energy use, and to use our expertise in the best way<br />
possible, we needed a new way to guarantee that our work on<br />
energy and the environment would succeed.<br />
That’s why we created <strong>PennFuture</strong>’s Center for Energy,<br />
Enterprise and the Environment. The Energy Center uses a<br />
social enterprise approach – a combination of private enterprise<br />
strategies and public policy advocacy – to help build a vibrant<br />
renewable energy industry in Pennsylvania. Through the Center,<br />
we are linking developers, financiers, electricity suppliers, decision<br />
makers, environmental leaders and local community activists to<br />
create more renewable energy projects faster. Our conferences,<br />
meetings and publications create<br />
the crucial networks needed to<br />
make Pennsylvania’s economy<br />
green, clean and profitable.
Farming is one of Pennsylvania’s leading industries, but<br />
megafarms – dominated by corporations, raising huge<br />
quantities of livestock and poultry under factory conditions<br />
– are rapidly displacing our state’s family farmers.<br />
These massive animal factories create serious water pollution,<br />
often contaminating drinking water for miles around. Indescribable<br />
odors and large trucks constantly hauling supplies and animals<br />
over local roads destroy the property values and quality of life for<br />
rural Pennsylvanians.<br />
Until recently, no one knew exactly what impact these factory<br />
farms have had on local communities and their prosperity, but a<br />
<strong>PennFuture</strong>-sponsored study<br />
showed that these factories<br />
destroy the property values and<br />
property rights of neighbors.<br />
<strong>PennFuture</strong>’s Responsible Farming<br />
Campaign has helped empower<br />
local communities, providing legal<br />
and technical support, leveling<br />
the playing field to give rural<br />
citizens a voice in their future.<br />
And when agribusinesses pushed<br />
a bill through the state legislature<br />
that would strip communities of<br />
their ability to protect churches,<br />
hospitals, schools or parks by<br />
insuring that factory farms and manure spreading are not sited<br />
right next to them, <strong>PennFuture</strong>’s staff and supporters launched<br />
a massive grassroots campaign, successfully convincing the<br />
Governor to veto this very bad bill.<br />
Saving family farms and protecting the<br />
environment are key to keeping Pennsylvania<br />
agriculture economically vibrant.
Pennsylvania’s reserves of coal were integral to the<br />
industrial economy, but the legacy of that coal mining<br />
has meant thousands of miles of streams destroyed,<br />
land left blighted and piles of waste coal left throughout<br />
the state, leaching toxins into our water. Over 2,400 miles<br />
of streams are sterile and unusable and more than 250,000<br />
acres of abandoned mines need to be reclaimed in 45 of<br />
<strong>Pennsylvania's</strong> 67 counties<br />
<strong>PennFuture</strong> led the fight for Pennsylvania’s Growing Greener<br />
Program, which provides grants to community groups and<br />
environmental organizations to help clean up this coal legacy.<br />
Thanks to Growing Greener, Pennsylvania has made significant<br />
progress cleaning up thousands of acres of abandoned mines<br />
and hundreds of miles of streams.<br />
<strong>PennFuture</strong>’s leadership was also crucial in creating a new energy law,<br />
the Advanced Energy Portfolio Standard, which helps create a market<br />
for both renewable energy, and for eliminating the tons of waste<br />
coal by using new technology to convert that waste to energy.<br />
But Pennsylvania still has coal reserves, and <strong>PennFuture</strong> has<br />
served as a watchdog to ensure that current coal mining is done<br />
in the least environmentally harmful way. When a coal operator<br />
destroyed streams through longwall mining, <strong>PennFuture</strong> went to<br />
court to make the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental<br />
Protection guarantee that<br />
future coal mining be done<br />
without harming streams. And<br />
when Pittsburgh’s Mayor<br />
announced a plan to allow<br />
strip mining of the city’s<br />
largest undeveloped piece of<br />
land, <strong>PennFuture</strong> sounded the<br />
alarm and helped local<br />
residents and other environmental<br />
organizations organize<br />
against the plan.
Replacing dirty electricity sources with pollution free renewable<br />
energy will help reduce Pennsylvania’s ranking as having some<br />
of the worst air pollution in the nation, but it isn’t enough.<br />
While the federal government has worked to weaken air pollution laws,<br />
<strong>PennFuture</strong> has pushed both the state of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania’s<br />
power plants to clean up.<br />
Recognizing that one in six women of childbearing age has so much<br />
mercury in her body that her nursing infant or fetus is in danger of<br />
brain damage, <strong>PennFuture</strong> launched a campaign to have our state regulate<br />
toxic mercury and protect the health of its citizens. We organized an<br />
unprecedented coalition – of labor unions, sporting groups, health care<br />
providers, women’s rights organizations as well as other environmental and<br />
grassroots groups – to create the public outcry to convince the state to<br />
take action.<br />
When the Hatfield’s Ferry power plant in Greene County was massively<br />
violating both Pennsylvania and federal clean air standards with little<br />
action from regulators, <strong>PennFuture</strong>, joined by the national Environmental<br />
Integrity Project, represented the local citizens suing the plant.<br />
And since diesel pollution causes 1,170 preventable deaths in Pennsylvania<br />
each year from lung disease, heart attack and cancer – the third highest in<br />
the country – <strong>PennFuture</strong> has called on Governor Rendell to require that all<br />
state contractors use equipment with strict pollution controls, and that the<br />
state adopt an Commonwealth-wide anti-idling rule for all on and off road<br />
diesel engines.<br />
Global warming is real and getting worse. We are already experiencing melting<br />
ice caps, rising sea levels, emerging killer diseases like West Nile virus, the<br />
extinction of hundreds of species and heat-related human deaths have<br />
doubled. Pennsylvania contributes 1 percent of all the pollution that causes<br />
global warming – more than 105 developing countries combined.<br />
<strong>PennFuture</strong> again has created a new coalition, including people of faith,<br />
seniors, small and large businesses, community groups and national and local<br />
environmental groups to take action. We are working together to create<br />
public policies reduce the state’s contribution to global warming. And since<br />
<strong>PennFuture</strong> walks the walk as well as talking the talk, we have purchased wind<br />
energy credits for all of our conferences and meetings to offset the pollution<br />
that otherwise might be produced to power the gatherings.
Protecting Pennsylvania’s wetlands, streams, rivers and drinking water is a<br />
full time job, one that is vital to a growing economy. It’s not enough to<br />
repair the damage of the past, we must ensure that no more damage is<br />
done now and in the future.<br />
When the people of the Petrolia area discovered that their entire water supply had<br />
been contaminated, they turned to <strong>PennFuture</strong> for help. Not only were they fearful of<br />
serious health problems for the children of the community, homeowners discovered<br />
that their homes had been rendered practically worthless, since no one wanted to<br />
move into a community without safe water. Thanks to our legal intervention, the state<br />
agreed to replace all water supplies and build a new water system for the community.<br />
As the Brookings Institution Report, Back to Prosperity: A Competitive Agenda for<br />
Renewing Pennsylvania starkly proved, Pennsylvania’s continued reliance of old economic<br />
development models has resulted in abandoned and decaying cities and the nation’s<br />
six largest rate of sprawl and loss of green spaces, while having one of the nation’s<br />
slowest rate of population growth. And everytime we move more and more development<br />
into green space, we endanger wetlands, streams and our water supply.<br />
<strong>PennFuture</strong> has assisted local groups on several fronts to stop this march of<br />
sprawl and environmental destruction. We represented citizens opposed to new<br />
big box developments on wetlands and raised questions about why local and<br />
state governments were subsidizing these developments. We launched an<br />
unprecedented campaign against the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission’s plans<br />
to build new toll roads into rural southwestern Pennsylvania – roads which will<br />
serve only to further destroy the urban centers and rural areas as building<br />
expands with the road. We sued industrial facilities who polluted the waterways with<br />
the sewage from their plants, and got both clean up and ongoing surveillance to<br />
prevent recurrences. Through litigation and public policy changes, we’ve slowed<br />
Pennsylvania’s importation of garbage, and helped local citizens prevent landfill expansions<br />
which risk their drinking water and destroy the quality of life for local citizens.<br />
<strong>PennFuture</strong> has also provided legal and organizing<br />
expertise to small community and watershed<br />
groups throughout the state, helping these<br />
groups navigate the legal and funding systems<br />
to protect and upgrade their local water ways.<br />
In fact, we wrote the book on it – <strong>PennFuture</strong>’s<br />
Steam Redesignation Handbook: A Step-by-Step<br />
Guild for Petitioning to Upgrade your Stream to<br />
High Quality or Exceptional Value Special<br />
Protection in Pennsylvania.
<strong>PennFuture</strong> feels a particular obligation to assist other<br />
environmental groups and individuals, providing services<br />
and know-how to enable others to succeed. We also<br />
continuously work to create larger and more diverse<br />
coalitions, bringing new partners into the vital work of protecting<br />
our environment and public health.<br />
Through <strong>PennFuture</strong>’s Environmental Communications Resource<br />
Center, we offer training, mentoring and even high tech digital<br />
equipment to help groups and individuals take their message to the<br />
public and the media in a highly professional way. While most of<br />
the Center’s services are provided to groups in southwestern<br />
Pennsylvania, the Center staff has helped design radio and television<br />
campaigns statewide for issues including renewable energy, Growing<br />
Greener funding, factory farms, watershed protection, problems<br />
from longwall mining and air pollution.<br />
<strong>PennFuture</strong>’s attorneys provide free legal advice and representation<br />
to individuals and organizations across the state, with a minimum<br />
of $2 million of legal expertise provided each year. We also work<br />
with law schools across the state to help develop a new generation<br />
of legal advocates for the environment.<br />
Our intern programs also strive to add expertise to the youthful<br />
enthusiasm of students committed to the environment, providing<br />
training in research, outreach, organizing, public presentations and<br />
strategic media campaigns.<br />
And <strong>PennFuture</strong>’s vibrant government relations work serves as a<br />
watchdog in Harrisburg for the state’s entire environmental community.<br />
When bad environmental legislation is being offered – nearly<br />
always late at night or on weekends, outside of the light of day and<br />
observation of the public – <strong>PennFuture</strong> is there, alerting citizen networks,<br />
negotiating and working with legislators to make sure that<br />
no harm comes from these attempts. And when good legislation is<br />
passed, <strong>PennFuture</strong> is there from the start, educating legislators<br />
and guiding the bill successfully through the legislative process.<br />
Finally, recognizing the need to expand our support and create<br />
stable funding, we continue to build The Endowment for<br />
Pennsylvania’s Future. This growing fund is returning interest<br />
to guarantee that our future – and the future of Pennsylvania’s<br />
environment – is bright and green.
Once again, <strong>PennFuture</strong> has been named a Four Star Charity by<br />
Charity Navigator (www.charitynavigator.org), America's largest<br />
charity evaluator. Charity Navigator works to advance a more<br />
efficient and responsive philanthropic marketplace by evaluating<br />
the financial health of America's largest charities.<br />
<strong>PennFuture</strong>’s rating, which includes an overall numerical score of<br />
68.54, is the highest of any environmental organization in the<br />
state and second highest state charity overall, second only to<br />
Carnegie-Mellon University.
