The Sierra Club was established in 1892 by John Muir. Today, the Sierra Club has over 2 million members and supporters. The organization works towards protecting acres of wilderness, and passing a number of environmental laws such as the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act and Endangered Species Act. They have recently "made history by leading the charge to move away from the dirty fossil fuels that cause climate disruption and toward a clean energy economy."
The Sierra Club created "Our Wild America" which is intended to protect America's wildlands. The Sierra Club's "Our Wild America" campaign "is doubling down in the fight to preserve our wild heritage in the face of threats from mining, drilling and climate disruption." The organization wants to protect public lands from mining and drilling to help preserve the wildlife that live there and to keep the air and water clean. They also want to protect America's national forests.
The Sierra Club has 2.4 million members and counting, 64 local chapters nationwide, 20,000 or more outings a year, and have protected over 2.5 million acres of land.
The Sierra Club also has a Youtube channel where they give explanations for environmental terms such as the clean energy effect or the term "fracking". They also have videos on the events that they have done or are apart of.
The Sierra Club is a great organization that is helping the environment tremendously. If you're interested in learning how to help our environment or just want to see what the Sierra Club is for yourself, click the links below.
