Environmental Community Action, Inc.
Carol Williams, executive director of Environmental Community Action, Inc. (ECO-Action), believes that the most powerful illustration of her organization’s collaboration is its role in the development of the Grassroots Environmental Network. The Network is a statewide coalition of
30 community-based organizations dedicated to promoting sound environmental policies and practices; forming a base of support for communities and organizing initiatives in the state of Georgia; and sharing information, resources and strategies towards these ends. ECO-Action received the “Special Merit” Award (1992) and Certificate of Environmental Achievement for three consecutive years (1995, 1996, 1997) from the National Awards Council for Environmental Sustainability for work in facilitating the Network.
