From Conservation Chair: Winter 2021

by Ellen Cardone Banks, Conservation Chair

Sierra Atlantic readers are among the 3.8 million Sierra Club members and supporters whose dues and donations help to protect national monuments and national parks, defend the Clean Air and Clean Water acts, and put hundreds of coal-burning power plants on the path to replacement with clean energy, among other campaigns. Nationally, these projects have been combined with prioritizing environmental justice at all levels and actively pursuing anti-racism.

New online publication to improve collaboration

The structure of the Atlantic Chapter's conservation program allows a great deal of work to be done by the Sierra Club in New York, but a lot of this action happens below the surface, unknown to most of our members and the public. We have a plan to change that with a new online publication.
