August 2013 Dear Excuse my disbelief, but… Are you fracking kidding me?! You can be part of our efforts. Join the Angeles Chapter's 1000 at $100 Campaign by donating $100 today to protect our communities, our air, and our water. You may also donate on a monthly basis, for as little as 33 cents a day (just $10 a month!) We know that fracking is wrong. The use of hydraulic fracturing to pump sand, water, and chemicals into the ground to extract oil and natural gas threatens our ground water. There are just too many unanswered concerns about water pollution, air quality, health effects, and even earthquakes! We can’t let this jeopardize our local communities. We need your help – Donate TODAY. Think we don’t have to worry about fracking in SoCal? It's estimated that Southern California is sitting on over 15 billion barrels of shale oil – one of the largest shale oil deposits in the world. And fracking is the industry’s method for getting it out. We've already begun to work against Big Oil interests to
protect health, safety and the environment. Our activists helped force
California to write new fracking regulations. We won't stop there – There's
just too much at stake! To ensure our
efforts continue, we need your financial support. For over 100 years the Angeles Chapter has been working to protect our water, our air, and our neighborhoods. We are a grassroots organization. Thousands of our hardworking volunteers are people just like you. We work to stop bad things from happening… And make good things happen instead! Donate today! Our San Onofre Task Force helped achieve the unimaginable – through tenacity and hard work we sent a powerful message that resulted in the closing of the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant permanently! With our support, The City of LA became the largest city in America to ban plastic bags, joining other local municipalities including Santa Monica, West Hollywood, and Huntington Beach, and helping to pave the way for the rest of the country! We used social media to send the message that our members
want to protect the coast from a harmful desalination plant by collecting over
2,500 signatures so far! The Organics Project recently made headlines by exposing
the real story about what happens to our green waste. (It doesn't all become
compost!) Our voices were heard and our actions produced results! Give now! Your dollars will be put to good use right here in Los Angeles and Orange counties. With your financial support we will:
The Angeles Chapter of the Sierra Club. You know you can count on us. Can we count on you? Please say "yes" by sending a much needed donation in any amount. We thank you for taking action now so that California's environment is protected for our families and for our future. Sincerely,
Sierra Club Angeles Chapter |
