CFact

In 1985, the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) was founded to promote a much-needed, positive alternative voice on issues of environment and development. Its co-founders, David Rothbard and Craig Rucker, strongly believed the power of the market combined with the applications of safe technologies could offer humanity practical solutions to many of the world's most pressing concerns. A number of leading scientists, academics, and policy leaders soon joined them, along with thousands of citizens from around the U.S. and around the world. Today, CFACT is a respected Washington D.C.-based organization whose voice can be heard relentlessly infusing the public-interest debate with a balanced perspective on environmental stewardship and other important issues. With an influential and impressive scientific advisory board, effective collegiate program on U.S. college campuses, CFACT Europe, official United Nations' NGO representation, Adopt-A-Village project, Global Social Responsibility program, and "Just the Facts" daily national radio commentary, CFACT continues to offer genuine solutions to today's most important global challenges. CFACT has been termed "invaluable" by the Arizona Republic, it has been lauded for its "effort to bring sound science to the environmental debate" by a former president of the National Academy of Sciences, and has been praised by a respected Boston Globe columnist for "a record of supplying absolutely solid information." At the heart of CFACT, our goal is to enhance the fruitfulness of the earth and all of its inhabitants. CFACT accomplishes this through four main strategies: Prospering Lives. CFACT works to help people find better ways to provide for food, water, energy and other essential human services. Promoting Progress. CFACT advocates the use of safe, affordable technologies and the pursuit of economic policies that reduce pollution and waste, and maximize the use of resources. Protecting the Earth. CFACT helps protect the earth through wise stewardship of the land and its wildlife. Providing Education.
