Environmental 911
There is something you can do...

put a cork in that smokestack

  • When you hear that a local land developer wants to pave over an important wetlands area or start construction in a wildlife habitat.

  • When you want to find out about the effects of a city-wide pesticide spraying on your children's health.

  • When you suspect that a local factory pollutes the water you drink or threatens the quality of the air you breathe.


    Coordinated out of our Member Services department, the staff working on the Environmental 911 Program assist individuals that inquire about specific local, time-sensitive and critical environmental concerns by offering them quality research and personal attention -- creating intimate, customized interactions that further our environmental agenda and broaden our network of environmental activists nationwide.

    What is the Environmental 911 Program?

    Sierra Club's Environmental 911 Program provides you with a convenient, accessible, personal resource for obtaining information about actions you can take to address local environmental issues. By calling the Sierra Club's Environmental 911 Program at (415) 977-5520 or e-mailing environmental911@sierraclub.org, you will have available to you the wealth of experience and depth of knowledge that over 100 years of grassroots activism can bring.

    How Does the Environmental 911 Program Work?

    After you contact us with your environmental issue or concern, Environmental 911 Program staff will research to find the name(s) and contact information for Sierra Club Chapters, Groups and volunteers working on your issue. In an effort to help you pursue your issue and resolve your problems, staff can also provide you with contact information for other organizations, corporations and agencies -- from the private, public and government sectors.

    What Can the Environmental 911 Program Do For Me?

    The goal of the Environmental 911 Program is to give you the information you need to take action on environmental issues at the local level. Environmental 911 Program staff will provide you with the tools to become informed, fight back and help safeguard the places and people that are the most important to you.
