The
Iowa Chapter of the Sierra Club is committed to environmental
protection. The Chapter applies pressure on political leaders and
government decision makers in order to achieve positive changes to
protect the environment. Active
participation in a democracy ensures our elected officials and decision
makers fairly represent the voters and the public interests, not the
polluters’ interests. Members
and supporters are involved with influencing decision makers in city,
county, state and federal governments.
Our work involves the legislative, executive and judicial
branches of state government. We
regularly bring issues to the commissions, boards and stakeholder groups
of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, the Iowa Department of
Transportation, the Iowa Utilities Board, and the Iowa Department of
Economic Development. The
Chapter also takes legal action in the state and federal courts to
support our environmental initiatives. Read Making Government Work for the People for the Chapter's recommendations for improving government so that it works for all of us.
