The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) is the UK national charity dedicated to protecting the marine environment and its wildlife. In addition to lobbying governments and educating the public on the plight of the seas, the conservation organization annually publishes its Good Beach Guide, which rates British beaches on the cleanliness and quality of their water. Marine Conservation Society created a dust-up in 2004 with the publication of its annual Good Fish Guide, which recommended that Brits stop eating such fish as cod and haddock, and switch to pollock and flounder, in order to ensure future availability of the species that are traditionally consumed in the UK's favorite fast food, fish and chips. MCS was formed in 1983.

Meals on Wheels Association of America (MOWAA) helps to fuel programs throughout the US that deliver meals to people who are elderly, homebound, disabled, or otherwise at risk of going hungry. Meals on Wheels Association of America provides information, via conferences and newsletters, and tools, including bulk purchasing services, to Meals on Wheels programs that are members of the association. MOWAA also works to obtain government grants and distribute money to local meal delivery programs. The Meals on Wheels concept was developed in the UK during WWII and introduced in the US in 1954. On September 1, 2009, the MOWAA Board of Directors approved a new vision for the Meals On Wheels Association of America: to end senior hunger by 2020. In order to turn this 2020 vision into a reality, Meals on Wheels Association of America have started a national movement to end senior hunger by 2020.
