Sierra Club Outings and Carbon Offsets What else can you do to fight global warming? The Sierra Club is working to reduce carbon emissions by 2 percent a year for the next 43 years, which scientists tell us we all must do in order to curb the worst impacts of global warming. Every individual and institution needs to decide how they will reduce their emissions. For some, this may mean purchasing a more fuel efficient car, for some it may mean canceling some travel, for others it may mean investing in better insulation or more efficient appliances. We are doing our part in the Outings program by reducing on-trip transportation and insisting on sustainable practices by the local establishments we frequent. While your personal lifestyle choices are important, they need to be coupled with far-reaching political change on a local, national, and international level. Learn what we're doing--and how you can help--on our Smart Energy Solutions site. > How does travel impact global warming? > Where does my money go and how does it "offset" my travel? > Why doesn't Sierra Club just offer "carbon-neutral" trips? > How did we choose NativeEnergy? > Isn't this just "greenwashing"? > What else can you do to fight global warming?
