Sierra Club California urges a NO vote on Proposition 45. It would gut environmental protections and reduce your opportunity to oppose dangerous developments, including data centers. See more videos of opponents in the comments.

Prop 45 weakens environmental protections in California at a time when the Trump Administration continues to roll back environmental protections at the federal level. It is more important than ever for California to defend the laws that protect our public health, air, land, water, oceans, and wildli...

US Forest Service has a new map app with trails, roads, topography. Great thing about it is that you can download maps for offline use when you're out in the middle of nowhere (though maps can consume a fair bit of space). To download, visit their page:

The Sierra Club is suing the federal government for helping the Cadiz water scheme trying to drain our Mojave Desert of its water.

Another similar lawsuit was also filed by several native tribes and the National Parks Conservation Association.

California’s Cadiz Pipeline would deplete groundwater, harm desert wildlife

The Sierra Club and other environmental groups will continue to fight Cadiz. Thanks go to leaders who stand up for our environment.

I am deeply disappointed that the Bureau of Land Management has approved Cadiz's Right-of-Way application and pipeline permit without conducting the groundwater pumping and export impact review.

This decision ignores a fundamental truth: a private company should not be allowed to mine groundwater from one of the driest regions in North America without a full accounting of the consequences. The Mojave Desert is not an inexhaustible resource, and the Tribal nations, communities, and ecosystems that depend on it deserve a rigorous review.

I stand with the Tribal nations, community leaders, and advocates, who understand that the desert's water resources cannot be treated as a commodity to be exported for private gain.

If you use trails in California, consider doing this survey. Last day to complete it is TODAY--we just heard about it. It will help guide how the state spends bond money on recreational trails.

California is gathering input on hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails. Tell us what could be better in your region and help guide trail priorities and updates to the Recreational Trails Plan.

We had a good tabling event at the VESD Wellness Expo on Wednesday. Talked to lots of folks about the Sierra Club and local outings and issues.

Happy Earth Day! Good time to take a moment to think about how to make our planet a better place.

One organization doing good work here is Yale's Program on Climate Change. They do excellent studies of attitudes about climate change. One of their recurring findings is that more people than you probably think are concerned about global warming/climate change.
