Sierra Club is the most historic grassroots environmental organization in the country. For more than 130 years, we’ve gathered millions of activists and volunteers to fight for the places, people, and planet we all love. The CNNY (Central & Northern New York) Group encompasses seven counties and has about 2500 members. Our board of eleven people work diligently to follow the particular environmental issues affecting our region, such as protecting our water, lakes, open space, forests, air quality, pollution from fossil fuels, and environmental justice issues.
Join us to help protect our planet! It is educational, fun and inspiring to work with our group. We are currently focusing on of such issues as promotion of electric school buses, holding Micron accountable to build and run its new chips plant with as little harm to the environment as possible, solar farm projects and several other pressing issues. Want to help as well as learn about what interests you? Write to rjezer@gmail and tell us your ideas and interests.
Our group offers programs throughout the year as well as in specific to the times of year. Right now, with Earth Day on April 22nd, you will see our members involved in several Earth Day Events.
April is also a particularly exciting month this year because we will be experiencing the solar eclipse. The CNNY Group is joining with the MOST (Museum of Science & Technology) to experience this phenomenon together on April 8th, 12-4pm, at the MOST. Glasses to protect your eyes will be provided. Join us! We will have a booth to welcome you! See announcement below.
