cool cities campaign

The Dallas Sierra Club is getting more cities on board the Cool Cities train! We’re asking mayors of all cities all over North Texas to sign the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement and make a commitment to address global warming by making their cities more energy-efficient. There’s a lot you can do to help! We'll provide all the training!

Cool Cities volunteer opportunities: Can you join others to lobby your mayor, speak to groups, or help find speaking venues? Does your city not have a cool cities campaign and you would like to lead one? Click here for more details and contact Lee Berryman-Tedman and Clark Shaffer.

book discussions

The Dallas Sierra Club provides book discussions where you can meet with others to discuss books on a wide range of topics. Our most popular book discussion series is based on Northwest Earth Institute’s (NWEI) books which include: Deep Ecology, Sustainable Living, Voluntary Simplicity, Globalization, Global Warming, etc. A typical NWEI book discussion group runs for 9 weeks and participants meet at a local restaurant or someone’s home. 

NWEI volunteer opportunities: Would you like to host an NWEI book discussion group? Or would you like to participate in one of these discussion groups? We can help you get set up with books and find participants for your group. If you’re interested, click here for more details and contact Chris Unruh. 

kids for conservation project

Our children are our future. So, let’s get them involved early in learning about conservation! Our events need more family-friendly workshops and activities, and we need content for the Kids' Web Page. We also need more items to give out to kids at tabling events (other than the usual stickers and temporary tatoos).

Kids for Conservation volunteer opportunities: Would you like to put together activities for kids that teach recycling, energy efficiency, etc. Are you good at creating fun crossword puzzles or word games? Do you know of some websites that might appeal to young people? If you’re interested, please contact Barbara Carr, 214-559-3791. 

take action papers - conservation 101

"Take Action!" is designed to inform fellow Sierrans and others about key conservation issues that they can each take action on. Currently, we have volunteers putting together papers on a variety of topics ranging from energy to sustainable food to wildlife conservation. When completed, these papers will be available online.

Take Action! volunteer opportunities: If there is a topic that you're interested in and it isn't listed at the Take Action! page, please contact Robin Sowton, 214-680-8349.

global population and environment

Sierra Club's Global Population and Environment Program aims to protect the global environment and preserve natural resources for future generations by advancing global reproductive health and sustainable development initiatives.

Population volunteer opportunities: Can you write articles, or letters to the editors? Can you write or email your members of Congress? Can you speak to groups about the relationship between population and environment? Would you be willing to table? Click here for more details and contact Gayle Loeffler. She'll provide you with the presentation materials, the speaking venues, and the training.
