Make a Difference as an Energy and Global Warming Activist
If you're tired of just wishing you could do more to change national policy on energy and global warming, then it's time to become an energy activist with the Sierra Club.
Our energy activists are on the front lines demanding smart policies that will save us money and fight global warming.
During the August recess, our activists will be meeting with their members of Congress and asking them to stop drilling deeper into dirty energy and to instead start investing in a clean energy economy.
Want to make a difference? Join us! Our energy activists engage each other and national Club leaders via a listserv to stay informed on current energy and global warming debates. They also take part in two national conference calls each month with leaders from our national Sierra Club campaigns. The calls frequently include special guest speakers and cover a wide range of energy and global warming topics.
To join the list and learn more, contact Allison Forbes of the Sierra Club Global Warming and Energy Program: allison.forbes@sierraclub.org.

Is waste fuel the way of the future?
