I feel I have found my environmental home in the Miami Group Sierra Club. Miami Group has folks who are willing to give inordinate amounts of time and energy working against pollution and the resulting inequities and for policies and programs that help improve the lives of citizens in Hamilton County and beyond. The environmental assaults are unending. This work energizes me. It is hard to prioritize and Miami Group provides leadership to show the way and the ins and outs of governmental entities like OEPA,& USEPA.
I look forward to another year working for clean air and water and against the polluters with members of the Miami Group.
Recruiting and training new volunteers needs to be one of our Group’s priorities for 2023-2024. Our challenges to achieve environmental protection and restore our ecosystems remain high. We need to engage more people in this work! I’ve personally found that being on our local excom to be challenging and rewarding work to both strengthen our Group and protect the environment and people. The Sierra Club’s emphasis on the need to address all injustice, not just environmental wrongs, is an opportunity for us to partner with more people and organizations to confront the injustice of racism, sexism, poverty, the criminal non-justice system along with environmental injustice. I hope all members will join us in these efforts.
