Environmental group to choose

I would like to re-engage with an environmental group having run a Friends of the Earth group long ago. I don’t want to find myself with people running social justice campaigns re self ID etc.
Any to avoid? Any sensible ones? I’m aware that the Green Party is bonkers and to be avoided. I am hoping FotE is still sensible

There is a bit of waffle about non-binary people and heteronormativity and 'anti-LGBTQ+'. That is the international group, though. Maybe what is needed is just for women to get back into these groups and make them not anti-women. Hm.

Yes, I think that most of us here would be happy with 'not anti-woman' as a basic start, but that seems to be hard to find, bizarrely.

FoE was always non-aligned to any political party which I think is important.
I’m not looking for feminist - just not anti-woman tra iyswim.

The Green Party is worth keeping an eye on. While there is a contingent determined to shoehorn in identity politics there are still good people within it, and at conference most of the motions supporting feminists etc passed. I appreciate they are being sued by - I think three - current and former members, though.

I'd like to hear more about FoE, used to be a member many moons ago.
