Sierra Club environmental informatin and advocacy

The Sierra Club is about more than wilderness and wildlife.

Their environmental news, research, education and advocacy help inform our communitie about critical life support issues...if not improve them directly.

Some of their key issues of concern regarding the environment include:

Stop sprawl -- cost and consequence of poorly planned development

Wildlands -- protection of the last 100 million acres

Forest protection and restoration -- fighting the clearcuts and logging roads that crisscross our national forests

Clean water -- face the pollution, wetland destruction, and factory farms that pollute our fresh water supply

Stop global warming -- slow and eventually stop it by acting now

Human rights and the environment -- protect environmental activists who are persecuted for their efforts to protect the earth

Global population -- family planning affects both healthy families and a healthy environment in which to live

Responsible Trade -- protect natural heritage and our children's lives...and futures

Clean air -- smog affects health directly with respiratory and asthma health emergencies

...and more environmental issues
