Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment/Environmental Record task force

The Environmental Record Task Force works to ensure that the environmental records of policymakers, corporations, and organizations are accurately and consistently represented throughout the encyclopedia.

We address entries for corporations, institutions, and other organizations having notable environmental impact, as well as for individuals whose activity in the political process has notable environmental impact.

• Expand the category for notable environmental topics
• Ensure that articles on environmental organizations are well written, well sourced, and encyclopedic
• Ensure that NPOV is maintained

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment

1. Section title: Environmental record. Should be a top-level heading: ==Environmental record==
2. Placement: try to place the section after the most important sections (those that directly describe the article subject), but before e.g. "criticism" or "trivia" sections (and before all other sections that describe what has been said or done about the subject of the article).
3. Length: a good environmental record section should cite at least three reliable sources. See "resources" section below. The section should be at least 150 words, and it should make at least three main points about the environmental record of its subject. Without three main points, it is not long enough to stand on its own as a section.
4. Content: transfer all relevant information from the resources below. The Environmental Record Task Force aims to represent all major aspects of a given corporation, organization, or policymaker's impact on the environment, whether that impact has been positive or negative.
5. Citation: don't forget to cite the source for each fact you use. Make sure the citation in or directly after the sentence in which the fact is stated. Citations should be in footnote form. (<ref>...</ref>).
6. Additional instruction: see Wikipedia:How to edit a page or wikipedia:tutorial.

Let's pool our knowledge to determine the most accurate and effective research methods for this project.

• PERI Toxic 100 — A list of the top 100 polluters in the U.S. Each of these corporations should have an environmental record section that cites the PERI study.
• Forbes Global 2000 — A list of the world's largest businesses. Each company should have an article with an environmental record section.
• Scorecard.org Comprehensive pollution information site.
• Clean Production Action publications — Factsheets, presentations and reports from Clean Production Action.
• SourceWatch's portal on front groups — A front group is an organization that purports to represent one agenda while in reality it serves some other interest whose sponsorship is hidden or rarely mentioned -- typically, a corporate or government sponsor.

• EPA Homepage
• EPA Press releases

Both sites above are reliable sources for information on corporate environmental policy. Use the search function on each page to research specific companies.

The following pages have assembled environmental ratings for United States politicians.

• Republicans for Environmental protection

REP Congressional Scorecard 2006

REP Congressional Scorecard 2005

• League of Conservation Voters

LCV National Environmental Scorecard 2006

LCV National Environmental Scorecard 2005

Google News is an excellent search engine for up-to-date information on environmental policy. Enter the article subject PLUS search terms such as environment, EPA, emissions, pollution, etc. As you research a given topic, you will discover more specific search terms to enter. If you were researching livestock, for example, you could search "cattle" PLUS deforestation or methane in Google News. Major newspapers make good reliable sources for Wikipedia articles.
