For industry assessments , the Industry Sector Community Guides and The Guide to Cleaner Vehicle Design, Use, and Disposal provide detailed information on the production process and on ways to cut pollution for the auto manufacturing , iron and steel production and oil refining industries. These guides can help environmental leaders know what opportunities exist for environmental improvements at these facilities, while also providing a template for constructing guides for other sectors. These agreements, negotiated between community groups and nearby industrial facilities, call for pollution reductions that go beyond regulatory requirements. By negotiating directly with companies, community groups can reach a far more complete solution than what the various fragmented laws and uneven enforcement efforts would otherwise provide. The Action Network is an easy and effective advocacy and organizing tool.

There are currently about 500,000 activists and over 30 partner organizations. It is free to become a member or partner. For partner organizations it is an easy way to reach a large number of people to make your voice heard on important issues, and for members it is a simple and quick way to influence legislation.
