Mike Ewall is the founder and director of Energy Justice Network, a national network supporting grassroots resistance against dirty energy and waste facilities, notably incinerators, biomass, coal and gas. Active since high school in 1990, he's long been a leader in student and community environmental justice movements. Since 1994, he has been supporting work to end environmental racism in Chester, PA and in numerous other communities across the nation. In Philadelphia, he's working to stop our city from burning its trash, and from illegally trashing recycling in certain neighborhoods. In our region and across the country, he has led winning campaigns stopping numerous incinerators, power plants, a multi-state nuclear waste dump, a coal-to-oil refinery, a liquefied natural gas import terminal, and much more. He is the author of the Zero Waste Hierarchy that is now used as an international standard, and has written local clean air laws that have stopped a variety of polluting facilities across Pennsylvania.

As always, we encourage you to extend an invitation to your office and peers so we can grow our community as we advocate for the environment. Please reach out if you have any questions!
