Message From the Group Chair, Karen

Dear Piedmont Plateau Sierrans and Friends,

  • Due to our love for natural spaces and the essential need for environmental justice and advocacy, we are guided by the strong mission of the Sierra Club:
    • "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."

The Piedmont Plateau Group is doing its best to carry forth a leadership role within our communities

  • PPG has worked along with 7-Directions of Service to stop the construction of a large methane pipeline.
  • We have partnered with the Haw River Assembly for stream clean up.
  • We have led the way to increase public awareness, by providing monthly educational programs. 
  • We have work with Guilford Clean Power Now to increase 
  • We are currently engaged in the effort to reduce 1,4 dioxane and PFAS pollution in the Deep River.
  • We will be engaging in the state wide effort to hold Duke Energy to its commitment of increasing clean energy generation.  
  • There are many good things happening for our communities and many beautiful sites to see within the Piedmont Plateau!  

I look forward to working and interacting with you! 

Karen
