The Environmental Working Group is an organization now devoted to changing the mechanism of American agriculture in a way that will alleviate the global climate crisis that the world faces today, in this case through modifications to the 2024 Farm Bill being put together by the US Congress.
The directors of this operation include:
Brandon Beck, co-founder of Riot Games, the developers of the wildly popular League of Legends video game.
Natasha Beck, his wife.
Ken Cook, the co-founder and president of the EWG, considered one of the most effective lobbyists in the DC legislative influence industry. Total compensation in 2022 in his role was $357,378.
Dr. Harvey Karp, CEO of Happiest Baby, Inc. and a faculty member at the Keck School of Medicine at USC and a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. His wife, Nina, is also a director of EWG.

Laura Turner Seydel, Chair of the Captain Planet Foundation, co-founder of the Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, board member Waterkeeper Alliance, co-founder Mothers and Others for Clean Air, board member of Project Drawdown, Patron of Nature with the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Other organizations she serves include the United Nations Foundation, Nuclear Threat Initiative and the Turner Endangered Species Fund. She is a member of Atlanta Rotary and serves as the current chair of the Carter Center board of councilors and on the advisory board for the Ray C. Anderson Foundation.
Kim Rozenfeld, executive in charge of programming at the Apple TV streaming business.
There a number of others on the board of EWG, none of whom seem to have any real familiarity with agriculture or climate science but do have positions that enable them to influence those around them. Perhaps this is how a merit-based democratic system is supposed to work. Who needs elections when the self-appointed elites are in charge?
