WHO WE ARE: The Sierra Club was originally organized by John Muir in 1892; it is one of the largest and most effective environmental activist groups in the world. Its motto is “Explore, enjoy and protect the planet”. The Houston Regional Group, one of ten regional groups of the Lone Star Chapter, currently has 5,000 members. Locally, the Sierra Club pursues legal and legislative work to save green spaces, slow suburban sprawl, preserve clean water to the bays, discourage polluting technologies and promote renewable energy. In addition, the club sponsors many outings, ranging from local clean-ups and day hikes to extended international tours and treks.
