Our Focus

TCE goes where the fight is to realize our vision for a Texas free from pollution. 

Over our history we’ve advocated across a broad range of issues, from curbside recycling and composting to electronic waste, single-use plastics bans and fracking restrictions. We’ve watchdogged polluting industries and championed policy reforms at the federal, state and local level to hold polluters accountable and protect the health and safety of Texans.  

Through it all, we’ve worked to aid communities in nearly every part of the Lone Star State in their fight against polluting facilities. 

Today, with the climate crisis as the defining environmental threat of our time – and with Texas’ outsized role as the nation’s largest producer of fossil fuels – TCE’s issue focus has shifted to pushing back on oil, gas, petrochemical and plastics polluters, and their political and financial enablers. As always, we’re focused on doing whatever it takes to support Texans fighting for clean air and water in their own communities, while at the same time contributing to the global effort to prevent climate catastrophe.
