Mission Statement
Legacy's Mission is "to create environmentally responsible citizens through balanced, fact-based education that considers diverse environmental views."

History
Legacy was created in 1992 by a group of individuals dedicated to providing quality, fact-based environmental education materials to the citizens of Alabama. Today, the organization brings together state and federal agencies, businesses, environmental groups, associations, and concerned citizens to provide comprehensive environmental education programs without duplicating efforts of other organizations. Legacy’s goal is to operate as a true partnership of all groups interested in environmental education, to develop and provide balanced environmental education programs, and to prevent duplication of effort by supporting existing quality environmental education programs. Revenue for Legacy’s environmental education programs comes primarily from the sale of Alabama’s “Protect Our Environment” license tag. Other money comes from the partnership program, donations, corporate sponsors, in-kind donations, grants, and special events.

The "Protect Our Environment" License Tag
The EEinAlabama.org website along with all of Legacy’s other programs and projects are funded through the sale of the “Protect Our Environment” license tag.
Buy the "Protect Our Environment" license tag and help protect Alabama's environment. Proceeds from the sale of the tag support environmental education programs coordinated by Legacy. Legacy's environmental education programs include teacher training workshops, student activities, scholarship programs, workshops and conferences, public awareness programs and materials, and grant programs.
By purchasing the license tag, you will assist in providing quality, fact-based, balanced, and practical environmental education to the citizens of Alabama. At the same time, your tag will demonstrate to others that you care about the environment.
