Take Action: Protect Our Nation's Waters
Take Action: Tell the Senate to Protect Us from Toxic Chemicals BPA in our kitchenware, phthalates in toys, formaldehyde in our clothes. Our children and families are exposed to too many toxic chemicals! In response to the demand for stronger protections, a bipartisan group of senators has proposed legislation to update the outdated and ineffectual laws on the books. Their bill -- the Chemical Safety Improvement Act, S. 1009 -- represents an opportunity for Congress to finally pass meaningful protections from known toxic chemicals. Unfortunately, the bill doesn't go far enough and needs improvements. Tell the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works to strengthen the bill and pass legislation that truly protects our public health. Volunteer Vacations: Be an Eco Life-Saver Cash-strapped parks around the country need your help -- and Sierra Club volunteer vacations are your chance to give back! Accommodating all levels of skill and stamina, the Sierra Club's service trips feature a variety of tasks, with free days to hike, swim, or simply relax among spectacular surroundings. Take your pick of destinations throughout the Lower 48, Alaska, and Hawaii or bring the whole clan along for a family-friendly experience.
