DescriptionWater and agriculture -- The August 2012 report Plowed Under: How Crop Subsidies Contribute to Massive Habitat Losses, its several analyses of crop insurance subsidies and the 2012 Farm Subsidy Database, released July 3, assured that EWG had a major voice in the farm bill debate. Two EWG-published reports by Iowa State University professor Bruce Babcock, laying out serious flaws in the crop insurance program, became critical factors in Congressional debate over the new farm bill. A third EWG-published report by University of Illinois professor Nicholas Paulson exposed the potential for another new subsidy proposal to bust the budget and threaten the environment. EWG worked with subsidy reform champions to stand in the way of a farm bill bait and switch - replacing one discredited farm subsidy for new subsidies with even worse implications for family farms and the environment. And it advanced efforts to reform crop insurance and protect programs that improve the environment, help working families feed their children and increase access to healthy food. EWG, working with the Clean Air Task Force, Friends of the Earth and the Network for New Energy Choices, developed a detailed agenda for overhauling ethanol and biofuel subsidies and mandates as part of a new and comprehensive U.S. energy policy.Description

DescriptionToxics and human health - EWG's work supports national chemical policy reform to protect public health, particularly children in critical windows of development, the elderly and other vulnerable people/EWG's 2012 Guide to Healthy Cleaning, launched in September 2012, became the first interactive rating system that scores popular cleaning products for toxicity and disclosure of contents. EWG's Skin Deep, an interactive safety guide for cosmetics, discloses hazardous ingredients in everyday personal care products. In 2012, the Skin Deep database site logged 6.4 million visits, for a monthly average of 533,333 visits and 4.1 million page views. EWG's Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce ranks pesticide contamination on more than 40 popular fruits and vegetables based on an analysis of more than 28,000 samples taken by federal scientists. A related analysis and guide -- Good Food on a Tight Budget, released in August 2012 -- calculated the most nutritious and economical fruits, vegetables, proteins, grains and dairy items that bore the fewest pesticide residues. EWG worked closely with House and Senate champions and the White House to enact legislation to extend health benefits to military veterans and family members exposed to toxic chemicals at Camp Lejeune.Description

DescriptionNatural resources -- EWG's analyses strengthened policies to protect American land from the detrimental impacts of resource-intensive energy production practices. As a result of the work of EWG and its allies, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar barred new uranium mining claims for the next 20 years on 1 million acres near Grand Canyon National Park. EWG put hydraulic fracturing on the map as an important environmental issue in California by publishing an expose documenting how state regulators had turned a blind eye to fracking for decades. EWG assembled a coalition of more than 100 grassroots consumer, religious, public health and environmental organizations from 20 states to call on the Obama administration to stop deceptive oil and gas leasing practices that undermine property values and mortgages. EWG and the Civil Society Institute launched "America's Clean Energy Agenda," a website and grassroots campaign that aimed to shape energy policy decisions in the first 100 days of the next administration.Description

General Explanation GeneralExplanation (5 entries)

Return ReferenceReturnReferenceExplanationExplanation
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2Nina Montee Karp, Director, is the spouse of Dr. Harvey Karp, Director.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The VP Finance and Chief Operating Officer reviews the federal Form 990 with the Chief of Staff and President in its draft form and any required revisions are submitted to the external tax team. The final federal Form 990 is distributed to the Board of Directors before filing with the Internal Revenue Service.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe Board of Directors annually reviews the Conflict of Interest Policy (COI) and discloses any potential conflict of interest. All EWG Staff and Board of Directors sign a Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement annually. The signed documents are reviewed by the Chief of Staff and General Counsel and are kept by the VP Finance and Chief Operating Officer. The COI Policy is always taken into consideration when there is the potential for conflict, particularly when signing new contracts or beginning new relationships. Any possible appearance of conflict of interest that arises in the course of business is researched to determine the existence of a conflict. If a contract is to be made with a related party, it is disclosed to the Board of Directors and a vote is taken prior to entering into the contract. If EWG staff members identify a conflict of interest, the Chief of Staff and General Counsel or VP Finance and Chief Operating Officer share this information with the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors for its action. Board members are precluded from voting on matters for which a conflict exists.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The Board of Directors designates a compensation committee of Board members to review the President. All staff are reviewed by the President and not the Board of Directors. Compensation comparison data is used to determine appropriate compensation levels. External salary surveys are purchased to compare like organizations by area of focus, geographic area, and function. Comparable environmental non-profits' federal Form 990 are also reviewed for salary information. In addition, an external specific compensation report is ordered each year regarding EWG's President.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19Governing Documents, Conflict of Interest policy and financial statements are not available to the public. The federal Form 990 and Form 1023 are provided upon request.
