Sierra Club Mission:

To explore, enjoy and protect the wild places of the Earth; to practice and promote the responsible use of the Earth’s ecosystems and resources; to educate and enlist humanity to protect and restore the quality of the natural and human environment; and to use all lawful means to carry out these objectives.

Chester County Committee Areas of Focus:

• Conservation including: protecting and restoring sensitive habitat areas for plants and wildlife, watershed areas, water filtration areas, wetlands and vernal pools, stream corridors, forests and other sensitive open fields and meadows.
• Global Warming and the many areas we can have an impact on it, including: transportation (encouraging hybrids, public transit, walking/hiking/biking paths), clean energy (encouraging wind, solar, other renewables, and conservation through owner actions), purchasing locally to reduce transportation impacts, and recycling and reusing to offset manufacturing outputs.
• Green Living issues including: buying locally grown and organic produce, initiating recycling efforts in the home, borough, and townships, practicing energy conservation at home, work, and business, and understanding and applying smart growth
