Message from the President and Executive Di
A
s WEC celebrated its 40th Anniversary this year, we took the opportunity to look back over four decades of hard work to protect Washington’s environment. Both of us continued to be inspired by what people can accomplish when they work together. Since our founding, WEC has consistently been on the forefront of efforts to advance smart environmental protections in our state, and 2008 was no exception. We celebrated victories on common-sense campaigns like our Local Farms – Healthy Kids effort, and made real progress on issues like climate change and water, setting the stage for some big policy changes in upcoming years. We continued to deepen our legislative partnership with Washington Conservation Voters. We incorporated WCV’s Voter Education Fund into WEC, allowing us to run a civic engagement campaign Rod Brown and Joan Crooks

Highlights from 2008
2
008 was a year of real progress for Washington Environmental Council – a year of achievement and also a validation of our strategic approach to challenging issues. On topics from putting farms and schools together to untangling our complicated water laws to tackling climate change, WEC brings people together to figure out the smartest way forward and then helps make it happen. The Washington we’re working towards is a vision that we share with people across the state, and the more people we help bring to the table, the smarter our solutions will be. Action on Climate Change Our joint campaign with Climate Solutions hit some major milestones this year. Together, we worked to pass important climate legislation, helped organize community members and groups, and mobilized people statewide around climate change. A major focus was the forward-looking Climate Action and Green Jobs law, which set responsible limits on climate pollution and laid out a path for creating a green jobs economy. The law set goals to reduce overall miles driven, a necessity in our state, where 50% of our climate pollution comes from cars and trucks. It also directed the Department of Ecology to work with other Western states to implement limits on climate pollution, setting the stage for big steps in the years to come.

Local Farms – Healthy Kids Working with children’s health experts, farmers, school nutritionists, poverty advocates, and parents from across the state, WEC led the successful effort to develop and then pass the Local Farms-Healthy Kids Act. This groundbreaking law made Washington a national leader in the local food movement by getting more Washington-grown produce into our schools and food banks, improving children’s health and creating new and thriving markets for our farms. It established a farm-to-school

irector around climate change and apply innovative tools to advance environmental protection and research. We also saw some of our long-running work come to fruition. E-Cycle Washington has just begun recycling old televisions and computers for free – a program we created and got manufacturers to fund. This is a reminder that the work we do helps people in their everyday lives. We also began to see real-world improvements from our earlier work on green buildings and clean cars. As the leaders of WEC, we know that our work will be more challenging in the upcoming year. The economic downturn gripping our nation and the state will not leave us untouched. We’ll have to work harder to make our voices heard in the state capitol, and to find the resources we need to continue our work to protect Washington’s environment.
program, brought locally-grown fruit and vegetable snacks to elementary schools with high numbers of low-income students, set up machines at famers markets to accept both food stamps and credit cards, and established four Farm-to-Food Bank pilot programs. Now, we’re working to ensure these programs make a difference in schools around the state. Water for Washington WEC teamed up with American Rivers and the Washington Rivers Conservancy to promote a proactive and collaborative effort to improve water management. Together, we started reaching out to farmers, irrigators, and others to build a meaningful dialogue across the state. We produced a report, Before the well runs dry: Water solutions for Washington to help educate decision makers on the problem and ways forward. We will continue this work to find solutions that will work for people, farms, and fish.
While no one facing the current economy could feel optimistic, we do feel confident in several things. We’re confident in our staff, who know how to get things done in tough times. We’re confident in our board, which brings a wealth of expertise to a diverse array of issues. And we’re confident in our environmental and business partners. The work we do with them makes our state a better place to live – now and in the future. WEC has been a force to be reckoned with for 40 years, and we look forward to working with you for 40 more.

“the most important water-right litigation in Washington in two decades.” And ending an 18-year conflict, WEC, Okanogan Highlands Alliance, and the Center for Environmental Law & Policy signed an agreement that will secure long-term environmental protections while allowing an underground gold mining operation to proceed on Buckhorn Mountain in north-central Washington. WEC had been fighting the project since it was originally proposed as an open-pit mine with onsite cyanide processing – a proposal we helped defeat several years ago.

In the Courts WEC continues to engage in strategic legal action – making sure the environmental laws already on the books are enforced and, in some case, challenging regulations which violate pre-existing state and federal law. In June, a King County judge issued a favorable ruling in our legal challenge to a 2003 water law, which gave away millions of gallons of water a day to developers and municipalities without considering the impact on people’s existing water use or on natural systems like rivers and streams. The Seattle PostIntelligencer noted that some experts consider this case, 3 | W A S H I N G T O N E N V I R O N M E N TA L C O U N C I L

WEC’s Voter Education Program
I
t has been one year since the Washington Conservation Voters Education Fund merged with the Washington Environmental Council, creating the nonpartisan WEC Voter Education Program. This year, one of the biggest election years of our lifetimes, provided our staff and volunteers with an opportunity to connect with environmental voters in new and exciting ways. In 2008 the Voter Education Program played a critical role in building the capacity of Washington’s environmental movement. We identified and engaged thousands of environmentally-minded voters, trained activists to make a difference in their communities, and provided leadership and strategic direction for the Priorities coalition. Other highlights from 2008 include designing and running a large-scale nonpartisan campaign to elevate the issue of climate change in state legislative races, reaching out to voters, candidates, and media outlets to educate them on key issues. We provided cutting-edge research tools to our partners in the environmental community. VEP also played a central role in the successful No on I-985 and Yes on Sound Transit ballot measure campaigns, working with the campaign teams, giving input on strategy and reaching out to tens of thousands of environmental voters through mailers and phone calls.

n November 7th, Washington Environmental Council celebrated its 40th Anniversary. Over 500 of our closest friends and supporters from the past four decades – the who’s who of the environmental movement in our state - gathered at The Westin Seattle. Thanks to the generosity of those who attended, we exceeded our fundraising goal – over $150,000 net raised for WEC programs! The evening began with energized conversation, delicious cocktails and our best-ever silent auction. During dinner, guests heard from WEC’s Joan Crooks and State Lands Commissioner-elect Peter Goldmark. WEC Board Alumni Helen Engle, WEC Board Member Marcy Golde, Director of the Washington Department of Ecology Jay Manning, and others helped tell WEC’s story in the film So They Might Soar, created by WEC Board Alum Kurt Guenther.

Growing Our Future: Local Farms — Healthy Kids
I
“
first became involved with WEC after reading a newspaper article about the Local Farms – Healthy Kids campaign. As a parent of two daughters I had been working in Port Angeles to bring locally-grown food to our schools and was thrilled to learn that WEC was working to make this a reality for kids across Washington. Working with WEC on this campaign was a totally inspiring and rewarding experience. Participating in the Legislative Workshop gave me the opportunity to see first-hand how organized, competent, and dedicated WEC and the other coalition partners were in achieving their environmental priorities. This experience inspired me to head back to my community to seek support for the Local Farms – Healthy Kids bill from parents, teachers, and our school
board. It also inspired me to visit Olympia and lobby my legislators directly. Of course the fact that the legislation passed was very rewarding, but perhaps more rewarding still, was my renewed sense of hope and the belief that each one of us really can make a difference.” – Beth Loveridge, Port Angeles, WA
Kids at Van Asselt Elementary in Seattle enjoy a fresh fruit or vegetable snack every day thanks to a grant program established by the Local Farms – Healthy Kids Act, one of WEC’s most satisfying successes in 2008.
