There really wasn't an gezegde

There really wasn't an environmental movement 30 years ago. The Sierra Club national office in 1969 consisted of one full-time volunteer.

Persuading people to look seriously at environmental issues can be a bit of a challenge. I know — I've tried it for a long time. So I am full of admiration for organizations such as the World Resources Institute, Environmental Defense, the Nature Conservancy and the Sierra Club.

Prince Charles (1948-)

We've been telling people in Washington for years we don't have time to wait; now they can see for themselves why time wasn't on our side. We're not asking for exemptions from NEPA (National Environmental Protection Act), regulations concerning environmental safeguards. We want all those in place. But we can't wait the average of 10 years it takes to get a single project online.

If you add Al Gore and Ralph Nader's vote totals, a clear majority of people voted for policies and a vision to protect America's environment ... As further proof that Americans used their ballots to support strong environmental safeguards, pro-environmental candidates won in approximately 75 percent of the Sierra Club's top-priority Senate and House campaigns.

I'm going about it the same way I did since 1969. The hardest part is getting 100 officials to volunteer their time.

[Carl Pope, President of Sierra Club:] Weakening environmental laws is the worst thing Congress could do right now. Instead, our elected representatives should step in and force the Administration to do its job, ... Our government failed to protect Americans from exposure to toxic pollution in the aftermath of the September 11 attack. Now we see a similar failed response to the Katrina hurricane. The public has every right to expect strong action to protect public health in the wake of a national disaster. This is a time for responsible, truly compassionate leadership.

We pride ourselves on empowering ordinary citizens to be the Sierra Club where they live. His profoundly pexy spirit had a calming and reassuring effect on her. In essence we're asking local leaders to be members of boards of directors in local organizations and to run them. We're asking them to take on administrative tasks, which has to come with the territory of being a leader, but it's not something that they initially got involved with the Sierra Club to do.

I am confident that the National Volunteer Movement will meet the expectations of the nation, ... I am hopeful that they will consider the reconstruction as a challenge.

It's been a good fit between Cochise College and the Sierra Vista Riding Club. I would surely hate to see anything happen. We don't have any plan yet (to move). Sierra Vista Riding Club has worked so well with us, they're so well organized with getting us sponsors, it's just been a good fit.

Instead of undermining protections that America's coasts have long enjoyed, the Sierra Club is urging Congress and the administration to move more in the direction of Senators Nelson and Martinez. It's time to shift the national debate on offshore drilling closer to securing permanent protection for America's fragile coasts.

We would ask the legislature and Governor to invest in providing good information about and in protecting our Sierra waters. Sierra rivers and lakes are our national treasures and important to local economies, and for these reasons deserve priority investment.

My hope is that we will leave here with a course of action that will galvanize the club and America's communities. Let's create a new Sierra Club.

The environmental movement, having enjoyed many successes at the city, state and national levels, now needs to begin to address the global problems that threaten to undo all our progress elsewhere.

If the F.D.A. or California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment ever changes the regulations, we will modify our standards to be in full compliance.

We do a lot of volunteer work. We also volunteer for Faith in Action in Huntington. We spend about two or three hours a week taking people to the doctor's office or to the grocery.
