Read recent posts from the Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation's current blogging initiative, "Achieving a Sustainable Texas" on environmental sustainability and sustainable science issues.
George Mitchell, credited with pioneering the economic extraction of shale gas, supported, funded, and advocated environmental sustainability and sustainability science issues since the early 1970s, including the funding of the National Academy of Sciences' first-ever study on sustainability science.
The following are links to posts from both the Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation and a number of their grantees that provide perspective to the foundation's grantmaking programs and impact:
