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 any campaign – contact the person listed and find out how!
Moving Beyond Coal!
We’ve made great progress getting coal removed in state owned power plants, including Charter St in Madison. Now we’re expanding throughout Wisconsin. This is your opportunity to help us eliminate 30% of the coal in Wisconsin by 2020 and get us onto clean energy solutions including efficiency measures and renewable energy. Want to get involved? Contact Don Ferber today!
Recycling Away from Home (RAH)
We have too much waste – or materials we treat as such and that ends up in landfills. Our volunteers collect recyclables and trash separately at various summer neighborhood festivals (Waterfront Fest, Orton Park, Willy St Fair) for the City to collect. With your help, we’ll not only continue, but expand these efforts through composting and other means.
Volunteers to help coordinate bag collection at events, implement more significant waste reduction options, and help create city or county policies to promote waste reduction. Get more details, recycling resources and the volunteer schedule for this project, then contact Don Ferber to get involved!
Madison Inner City Outings
Madison Inner City Outings is not a conservation campaign as much as an outreach program of the Sierra Club. ICO offers hiking and camping trips, boating and skiing outings, and other outdoor adventures to underprivileged youth in the Madison area. We work with Partner Groups and certified Volunteer Leaders to offer outdoor learning experiences for our kids. Visit www.madisonico.org to learn more, then contact Ron Haeger to get involved!
