Enviro Group Spending Soars in Senate Climate Push. By Anne C. Mulkern, Greenwire, October 30, 2009. "Green-group lobbying expenditures for July through September ballooned 33% to $6.1 million, compared with $4.6 million in the same period a year earlier. While that spending level is a fraction of what the oil and gas or electric utility sectors spent on lobbying in the third quarter, it signals increased confidence among environmental groups that climate legislation can be passed, analysts and observers said... For the quarter, the World Wildlife Fund spent the most within the environmental sector. Its $1 million lobbying tally is more than twice the $430,000 total of the Environmental Defense Fund, the next biggest spender. A nonprofit that works to preserve natural areas, plants and animals, the World Wildlife Fund had previously spent little on lobbying because it saw its efforts in a global context."
