Conservation Campaigns

 

It is important for a conservation organization like the Sierra Club to focus on specific issues. By having national, state and local entities working in conjunction, we can best attack local and regional issues with our grassroots activism. You can energize our efforts! If you would like to be involved with the any campaign - see the contact information on the specific page or contact contactus@4lakes.org.

Local Four Lakes Group Campaigns

  • Moving Beyond Coal: Right here in Madison, our community has a wonderful opportunity to shape how we energize our future. Right now we are in the process of figuring out the best options to replace the three dirty coal-fired power plants in downtown Madison - and you can help! Click here to learn more...
  • Doing More with Less: Sierra Club worked with Alders Larry Palm and Brian Solomon to introduce an ordinance that will require energy efficient lighting in Madison's rental properties. This is a win for everyone, saving both tenants and landlords millions in energy costs while cutting global warming pollution by more than 35,000 tons -- all by simply switching to energy efficient light bulbs. Check out our fact sheet (PDF) for more information!

  • Recycling Away from Home or "RAH": Recycling Away from Home, or RAH, is a joint project involving Sierra Club, Marquette Neighborhood Association, Wil-Mar Center and others. The goal is to provide recycling facilities for neighborhood festivals and events in Madison. Click here to learn more.....
