The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) has published a National Environmental Scorecard every Congress since 1970--the year it was founded by leaders of the environmental movement following the first Earth Day. The Scorecard provides objective, factual information about the environmental voting records of U.S. Representatives and Senators. LCV scores votes on the most important issues of environmental health and safety protection, resource conservation, and spending for environmental programs. The votes on the 2002 Scorecard represent the consensus of experts from 22 respected environmental and conservation organizations. These votes presented members of Congress with a real choice on protecting the environment and help distinguish which legislators are working for environmental protection. Dedicated environmentalists and national leaders volunteered their time to identify and research crucial votes. We extend special thanks to our Board of Directors, Political Committee, and Political Advisory Committee for their valuable input.
