Take Action: Protect Siberian Tigers from Illegal Logging!
Take Action: Big Oil Must Stop Poisoning Communities! There are nearly 150 oil refineries nationwide, and each year they pollute the air in communities with a toxic soup of carcinogens, neurotoxins, and hazardous metals, including benzene, hydrogen cyanide, hydrofluoric acid, arsenic, and lead. For these communities, this toxic air pollution means increased risk of cancer, respiratory problems, hospitalizations, and premature death. That's why the EPA has proposed stronger clean air standards to control pollution from refineries. Act now to ensure the EPA protects communities from toxic refinery pollution. Big Oil will fight back hard, so your voice is critical for protecting our health! Grassroots Activism: Energy-Efficient L.A. The Sierra Club celebrated with its coalition partners from RePower LA after a monumental decision to increase energy efficiency by 50 percent for one of the nation's largest utilities, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. This new plan will save the utility two percent of its energy use annual and has sparked a donation pledge of up to a billion dollars toward energy efficiency programs. Learn more! Action Update: One Big Step for Sharks A big thank you to the more than 100,000 of you that have taken action to protect our oceans’ sharks and oppose fast tracking the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)! Currently, the TPP stands to remove nearly all limits on deadly shark finning practices, but we're working to make sure this massive trade deal, which has been largely negotiated in secret, is brought out into the light and isn't needlessly fast tracked through Congress. Congratulations! |
