Sierra Club
You’ve more than likely heard of the Sierra Club, one of the country’s oldest, largest, and most influential grassroots environmental organizations started by the naturalist and conservationist John Muir (in 1892), but you may have never thought about joining. If that’s the case and you are truly committed to getting involved in some capacity to evoke change for a greener planet, then there’s no time like the present to join either at a national or regional level (with clubs available in all 50 states and Puerto Rico). And you can bet there’s an initiative on the club’s radar that you might be passionate about since their goals in regard to climate recovery include looking at limiting greenhouse emissions, clean energy solutions, creating and preserving resilient habitats, and safeguarding communities to name a few. Local branches look at local issues such as California’s campaign for clean water North Carolina’s focus on the affects of coal ash. If you’re one to take action instead of being one to just sit around and complain without offering any type of solution then the Sierra Club might be a great resource to align yourself. Check them out. There’s a reason they’ve been around for so long.
