the joseph leconte group of the sierra club is the local group of the sierra club in athens and northeast georgia. the sierra club's members are more than 750,000 of your friends and neighbors. inspired by nature, we work together to protect our communities and the planet. the club is america's oldest, largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization.
joseph leconte was a uga professor and one of the founders of the sierra club back in 1892. leconte (the namesake of leconte Hall behind the uga main library) was a geology professor who made his way to california, fell in love with the sierra nevada mountains, and joined up with john muir to found the sierra club. our local group in athens is named in his honor.
Just dropping by to give a green hello. 50 gallons of free waste vegetable oil saved me $200 per month commuting. Also reduced fossil fuel consumption and saved a load of emissions. Just doing my part to save money, I mean… the environment. (grin)
AMERICA IS ADDICTED TO OIL! Chaos and destruction from global warming, a peak oil crisis threatening economic collapse, or a national security nightmare brought on by our dependence on foreign oil. You choose the reason... the time to ACT is NOW!
Thanks for the add and hurray for the Sierra Club!
We hope that people will use alternative energy products (i.e. solar, wind and ethanol) in order to lessen America’s reliance on Middle Eastern oil and to reduce the impact of global warming.
Speak out! Tell President Bush and the Democrats that you support alternative energy. Become one of our myspace friends and help spread the word about alternative energy. Help us reach 100,000 friends so that politicians will realize that voters see alternative energy as a critical issue (and they will get off their butts & pass new alternative energy legislation).
