In 1985, the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) was founded to promote a positive voice on environment and development issues. Its co-founders, David Rothbard and Craig Rucker, believe very strongly that the power of the market combined with the applications of safe technologies can offer humanity practical solutions to many of the world’s pressing concerns. Today, this Washington DC-based group is a highly respected organization and its voice can be heard relentlessly infusing the environmental debate with a balanced perspective on environmental stewardship. With an influential and impressive scientific advisory board, aggressive collegiate program, CFACT Europe, United Nations representation, Adopt-A-Village project, Global Social Responsibility program, and “Just the Facts” national radio commentary, CFACT has and continues to offer genuine positive solutions to today’s global challenges. The organization has been termed "invaluable" by the Arizona Republic, it has been lauded for its "effort to bring sound science to the environmental debate" by a former president of the National Academy of Sciences, and has been praised by a respected Boston Globe columnist for "a record of supplying absolutely solid information." CFACT is recognized as an exempt 501(c)(3) organization under the Internal Revenue Service Act of 1954.
