WHO WE ARE

We are nature lovers who speak out about the effects of militarism on our environment. The commons we all share that sustain life are valuable to us.

In discussions about security and safety, we remind others of the need to count in the cost in pollution and fuel consumption of waging wars all around the planet.

In discussions about acting soon to protect our loved ones from the effects of climate chaos, we remind others of the need to examine the role of the Pentagon and its many contractors in contributing to planetary warming.

Add your name to join the Natural Guard effort from wherever you are!

I pledge to speak out about the effects of militarism on our environment, because the commons we all share that sustain life are valuable to me.

In discussions about security and safety, I will remind others of the need to count in the cost in pollution and fuel consumption of waging wars all around the planet.

In discussions about acting soon to protect our loved ones from the effects of climate chaos, I will remind others of the need to examine the role of the Pentagon and its many contractors in contributing to planetary warming.

Maine Natural Guard is active in the campaign to #convertBIW, calling on General Dynamics' Bath Iron Works ship yard to stop building carbon belching war ships and instead build solutions to climate catastrophe.
