Environmentalism isn’t a passing thought anymore in Nevada.

As the state grows, development and the people with it are impinging on the delicate environment of the Great Basin and Mojave Deserts.

In turn, several nonprofits are working tirelessly to keep things from falling out of balance.

As part of our week looking into a variety of nonprofits — some 15,000 of them in Nevada employing 60,000 people — we’re focusing Wednesday on environmental groups.

And we were broadcasting live from one of the largest nonprofits in Nevada, Three Square Food Bank. This is also Hunger Action Month.
