Grassroots Activism: The Original Water Sentinels Twenty years ago, long before the Sierra Club launched its national Water Sentinel program, the Valley of the Fox Group in Illinois started testing the Fox River and its tributaries. That first Water Sentinels site is still going strong today! Here's a great write-up of their latest testing day. Grassroots Activism: Fighting for Carbon Pollution Reductions Congratulations to the Sierra Club activists in Buncombe County, North Carolina. Thanks to their awesome work, the county commission last week adopted a resolution calling for an 80 percent carbon reduction goal. More than 50 climate activists from environmental organizations, local businesses, and elsewhere packed the county commission meeting, and many spoke as well. Grassroots Activism: Population Activists Needed! The Sierra Club Global Population and Environment Program is seeking volunteers for an activist training in February.
