<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 />

K. Joy Kaufmann John Hanger<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.
