Protect the Endangered Species Act -- The comments period has ended
On August 15, the Department of the Interior proposed sweeping changes to this landmark environmental law.
Under the new regulations, federal agencies would no longer have to consult with experts at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service.
Instead, the agency proposing the project would have the power to decide how it would affect wildlife.
The Sierra Club hand-delivered 25,435 number of names and comments to the Department of Interior on October 15.

Dear President-elect Obama,
It's time to Repower, Refuel, and Rebuild America.
We need to get our economy moving by building a clean energy future. We applaud your efforts to make energy a top priority, and look forward to working with you toward these goals:
- Move to 100 percent electricity from clean sources such as wind and solar.
- Cut our dependence on oil in half.
- Create 5 million new clean energy jobs.
- Reduce global warming pollution by at least 80 percent.
We call on you to announce a plan that will reach these goals and to use every opportunity including the federal budget and economic stimulus initiatives to get us started.
