Friends of the Earth - fund-raising/publicity badge (1980’s / 1990’s)
Friends of the Earth (FoE) is an international network of environmental organisations across 76 countries. The FoE considers environmental issues in their social, political and human rights context so would also be involved in other campaigns relating to economic development, sustainability and protection of biodiversity.
The FoE organisation was founded 1969 in San Francisco by David Brower. In 1971 his organisation went international which included the setting up of a national branch for England, Wales and Northern Ireland (FoE EWNI). Scotland has its own independent branch of the FoE. National branches of the FoE work independent of each other for national and local campaigns but will cooperate on issues of international importance.
