U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinich Recognizes the
Northeast Ohio Sierra Club in Congress

Dennis J. Kucinich
of Ohio
In The House of Representatives
In Recognition of the Northeast Ohio Sierra Club

Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the Northeast Ohio Sierra Club and applaud their efforts to raise awareness about the dangers of coal and its contributions to global warming. As the nation takes strides towards more environmentally sound ways of producing energy, it is important that we recognize the danger of trading one harmful fuel for another. If we hope to have a stable climate, we must refrain from the use of strong and toxic pollutants like coal.

Americans are known for their determination and innovation when faced with a challenge. Let us rely on these qualities in our transition to cleaner energy, rather than choosing an easy way out represented by coal. The health of our children and our planet is too big of a price to pay for our continued dependence on coal.

Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in recognizing the efforts that the Northeast Ohio Sierra Club has taken in raising awareness of the dangers of coal. As the nation works towards cleaner energy policies, organizations such as the Northeast Ohio Sierra Club are working tirelessly to keep the American public accurately informed on energy issues.

NEO Sierra Club News Goes Paperless

Say goodbye to the last printed issue of the Sierra Club Northeast Ohio Group Newsletter! In an effort to reduce waste, we're switching to an online electronic format. By moving online, we'll save trees, ink, fossil fuels used in mail transportation, and, of course, money. The newsletter currently costs the Sierra Club about $2000 per printed issue. Using an electronic format, each issue will cost about $60. So in just one year, we'll be able to put almost $12,000 of your membership dues toward conservation efforts!

Please signup for the electronic newsletter using the form on the left. Once we have your email address, we'll send you a bi-monthly email with the contents of each newsletter and links to the full articles online.

But that's not all! We're also on Facebook! Join us there to get updates of events, meet other Sierra Club members in our area, and post your own photos, events, and activities. Just click "join group" to become a group member!

Thanks again for helping us make this great cost-saving switch!
