Clean Water

GreenLaw prevented almost one ton of plastic from being dumped into the Oconee River each year by a newsprint recycling company in Dublin.

Environmental Justice

GreenLaw’s actions stopped a grain mill from emitting illegal and dangerous particles that covered a disadvantaged African-American community for decades.
