The clock is ticking to address global climate change and New Mexico has an opportunity to lead the way.

The recent IPPC report gave us a stark warning – only 12 years to act and avoid catastrophic threats to humanity. Their #1 recommendation: reduce methane waste from oil and gas production.

With your help CAVU will work with Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham on a path forward for state methane waste rules.

New Mexicans affected by oil & gas, we’d like to hear from you!

Work in the fields? Know someone who has? Receive royalties? Living with a well on your property?

If you have any association with the industry–positive or negative–we’d love to add your voice to our #UnearthedNM initiative! Submit a statement and image (if possible) and we’ll determine how best to incorporate your story into the series.

Shore up our fight for Florida’s coastline with a donation! We’ll use your contributions to put these educational tools into classrooms across Florida.

Your donation to CAVU, a 501(c)3 organization, is fully tax-deductible. By donating today, you are helping people and communities find practical solutions to important issues impacting them and their environment.
