Montana Environmental Information Center
About this Organization
The Montana Environmental Information Center (MEIC), a nonpartisan, nonprofit statewide organization, fills an important niche in Montana. MEIC advocates for clean air, clean water and a healthy climate by working with partners across the state, lobbying the Montana legislature where for 50 years we have been an unwavering yet effective advocate for protecting people and the resources of the state, working with administrative agencies to make better decisions that protect people and the planet, and, when all else fails, going to court to seek justice.
Since 1973, MEIC has been a staunch defender of Montanan's constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment, right to know, and right to participate. From bringing the first case in which the Montana Supreme Court found that the right to a clean and healthful environment is fundamental and preventative to challenging coal and gas operations that harm people living downwind, downstream and who rely on a stable climate for their health, livelihoods and communities.
MEIC uses all three branches of government with gusto. We are the environmental policy experts in Montana with the state's longest serving staff leadership.
