EMAIL YOUR REPS

Crack your knuckles and get ready to work, because it’s time to email your representatives. Your representative’s job is to represent you, and they can’t do that if they don’t know what’s on your mind. Check out your local Sierra Club Chapter for more information.

offset your carbon footprint

The quiz at footprintcalculator.org is a great way to calculate your carbon footprint. You can plug-in the details of your life/last year, and then it will calculate how high your carbon footprint is including how many Earth’s we’d need to survive if everyone lived like you.
