Sierra Club: Explore, Enjoy and Protect the Planet
If you love nature, you may have heard of the Sierra Club. Founded in 1892, the Sierra Club is dedicated to protecting nature — natural parks, wilderness, animals — you name it!
In fact, the Sierra Club is one of the first environmental protection organizations to be founded in North America. It is a national organization with more than two million people who explore, enjoy and protect nature.
It works to stop pollution that can make people sick and to protect our planet from global warming by generating more electricity from clean energy sources like solar and wind power. Its mission is to stand for these things: respect for life, love for the environment and peace.
Its mission is also to explore, enjoy and protect the wild places of the earth, to practice and promote the responsible use of the earth’s resources and to educate people to protect the natural and human environment.
The Sierra Club was founded by John Muir, who knew much about the mountains. John Muir also wrote many books and articles about why people should keep special places like Yosemite Valley safe from logging, mining, and grazing livestock. His books telling of his adventures in nature were read by millions and are still popular today. The Sierra Club remains a leading environmental organization and has influenced the establishment of numerous people.
The Sierra Club has helped protect many natural wonderlands so that we can still visit and enjoy them today. It also loves to organize hiking and camping trips so that people can see the special places that have been protected.
The Sierra Club wants you to get outdoors and go green! There are lots of ways in your everyday life to be close to nature and to care about the environment, like walking, hiking and exploring the nature around you. Recycling and reusing are of importance. As we all know, every little bit will make a difference.
