Antarctica. Icy and majestic. Romanticized. Underestimated. Unworldly, if there is ever such a thing. Home to millions of penguins and, except forresearchers, unfit for human settlement. A continent where the consequences of global warming are writ large—a 5,000-square-mile ice shelf in westernAntarctica has started to collapse, scientists reported early this year. � To underscore our growing commitment to curbing global warming,The SierraClub Foundation’s 2007 Annual Report is highlighting a series of evocative photographs of this forbidden continent. � It’s also an opportunity to featurethe photographs of Foundation Chair Robert Heil, who visited Antarctica and nearby islands this past January during the continent’s short “summer” andreturned with far more stunning images than we have room for in this report. He calls Antarctica “the most photogenic place I’ve ever been.” In additionto this page, you can see Heil’s photos on the front and back covers and pages 4, 18, 21, 25, 27, 29, and 34.

Prompt, decisive, and wide-ranging action is required to ward off large-scale suffer-ing around the world,which is increasingly being threatened by unprecedented anthro-pogenic global climate change.

The Sierra Club, with its legacy of effective conservation and environmental protection, its expert-ise in the science of smart energy solutions and climate change, its broad-based network of collab-orating organizations, and its army of dedicated volunteer workers, is in a unique position to leadthe way.And lead it shall.

The centerpiece of this leadership is the Sierra Club’s Climate Recovery Campaign, andThe Sierra Club Foundation is taking and will continue to take an increasingly active role inshaping this campaign and raising the charitable funds necessary to prepare for and ultimatelysurmount this historic global challenge.

As a key part of this strategy,The Foundation’s Board of Directors appointed Peter Martin asthe new executive director in January 2008. Peter has been a member of the Sierra Club’sOffice of Advancement staff since 2001 and most recently served as Senior AdvancementDirector inWashington, D.C. He came to the organization as a volunteer with the Club’s InnerCity Outings program, one of the programs featured in this report. Peter is a seasonedfundraiser, and we are looking for great things from him.

We know that donors—especially the principal gift donors that we must attract to theClimate Recovery Campaign—rightfully require quantifiable returns on their investments. Aleading example of a program that provides just that is the Sierra Club’s National CoalCampaign. Since the campaign’s inception in 2003, the coal team has been instrumental indefeating or causing to be abandoned 65 out of the original 165 major coal plants proposedby utility companies. It is still fighting the rest, and there is reason to be very optimistic aboutthese continued efforts. Had those 65 halted plants been built, they would spew into ouratmosphere more than 250 million metric tons of new carbon dioxide emissions annually at atime when we need to reduce total such output by 80 percent over the next 40 years.

At The Foundation, we see that donors across the country recognize the severity and urgency ofthe looming climate crisis, and this gives us encouragement that we will indeed be able to raisethe needed resources. Our 2007 financial results suggest a strong foundation—$42.4 millionraised, almost double the $22.9 million in 2006. Given the magnitude of the challenge, evenstronger donation growth is being sought for 2008 and beyond.

As the new Chair ofThe Foundation’s Board for 2008, I am grateful to the members of the Boardfor their leadership in this undertaking. I would particularly like to acknowledge Michelle Skaff, ourprevious Chair, who ledThe Foundation through challenging times and began the process ofincreasing the participation and effectiveness of our Board in the Climate Recovery Campaign.

Above all, I am grateful to our donors, for believing in us.The people and the animals of theearth are threatened by an epic global challenge.The Foundation and the Club believe thereexists, truly, a moral imperative to rise up and meet this historic challenge.We cannot afford tofail.Thank you for your confidence and support.

Seven years ago when I went to work for the Sierra Club, the envi-ronmental movement and the battle against climate change barely registered in America’s col-lective consciousness. Now there’s a hue and cry for bold, decisive action to stop global warm-ing—and it’s coming from mainstream America.

Al Gore and An Inconvenient Truth had a lot to do with that, as does $4 per gallon gasoline. Sohas the Sierra Club, enabled by the generosity of The Sierra Club Foundation donors. Forstarters, we broadened our bevy of allies by investing in projects that bring togetherAmericans from all walks of life on this issue.

We also pursued solutions that reduce carbon dioxide emissions and at the same time createthe right market conditions to allow smart energy solutions to flourish, and flourish rapidly. Forexample, the National Coal Campaign seeks to challenge the construction of every proposedconventional coal-fired power plant nationwide.Yet at its core the campaign is really an eco-nomic stimulus plan for renewable and alternative energy.When the Club stops a plant, moreand more we are seeing the energy demand being filled by alternatives like wind, solar, and effi-ciency.

I recently attended a panel discussion onWall Street that included Sierra Club ExecutiveDirector Carl Pope, the lead energy analyst from an investment bank, a venture capitalist whoinvests in renewable and efficiency start-ups, and an energy industry entrepreneur. At that event, Ireally began to understand the value of The Foundation and the Club’s work in creating thedemand for the next energy economy.The investment banker, to our surprise, declared that hetracks our coal campaign with great interest, seeing a potentially ripe investment opportunity inwhat’s coming next.

Take Illinois as a case in point.The coal campaign's investment in the state between 2002 and2007 led to the cancellation of 75 percent of the proposed new megawatts of coal. As wehave slowed the construction of new coal, Illinois has adopted stringent new clean energyrequirements, and clean-energy development has sky-rocketed. Since 2002, when Illinoisannounced its first wind farm, the state has added 699 megawatts of wind energy. Another10,000 megawatts of new wind is under consideration.

Eighteen months prior to theWall Street event, I was in Cleveland, my hometown, with Carl Popeand Leo Gerard, International President of United Steelworkers, the nation’s largest manufacturingunion.They stood in front of a windmill made of 26 tons of steel, and Gerard quickly calculatedhow many manufacturing jobs that equaled. Ironically, he learned that this particular machine wasbuilt in Denmark. Still, he declared that the future of his union and manufacturing in the rust beltof America relies on how rapidly we can get the country to move to smart energy solutions. Hereagain I was reminded that we must prioritize investing in solutions that move the carbon needleand drive economic progress. If a fewWall Street bankers get rich along the way, that’s fine by us.

A lot has changed since I started with the Club in 2001. I liken it to paddling upstream vs. rid-ing a wave. Both are challenging, but once you learn how to surf, riding a wave is a lot morefun. Our heartfelt thanks go to all our donors, who make this work possible.

Moving America Beyond Coal

The future isn’t looking good for coal, and The Sierra ClubFoundation and the Sierra Club’s National Coal Campaign havea lot to do with that.

Five years ago the Sierra Club sounded the alarm that thecoal industry was looking for approval to construct 165 newcoal-fired power plants around the United States. If built,these plants would render all other efforts to reverse climatechange irrelevant; they would also increase the nation’s annualCO2 emissions by more than 15 percent when scientists aretelling us we must reduce emissions by 2 percent each year.

The Sierra Club Foundation and the Sierra Club quicklyresponded to this new threat with the National CoalCampaign. Its mission is to stop the construction of a new fleetof conventional coal plants, end the most destructive coal min-ing practices, and expedite the replacement of the existing fleetof coal plants with clean energy alternatives.

Of the 165 original proposals, 65 coal plants have beendefeated or abandoned; 31 of those were in 2007.

The campaign is building the foundation for a clean energyfuture.There are more obstacles than ever to coal develop-ment: Informed residents are actively opposing new plants intheir cities; governors and other decision-makers are recogniz-ing the health and economic risks with coal; construction costsare increasing; federal government loans for coal developmenthave been suspended; health concerns about mercury pollu-tion are getting more visibility. At the same time, costs forrenewable forms of energy like wind and solar are goingdown.

OnWall Street, Citigroup downgraded coal stocks across theboard and others followed suit. Also, in light of increasingdemands for federal caps on carbon dioxide, banks haveannounced they’ll require utilities seeking financing for new coalplants to prove the plants will be economically viable underpotentially stringent regulations.

In 2007 the National Coal Campaign sharpened its tools,mobilized more citizens than ever, and successfully made itscase that “coal-fired power plant” equals “climate change.”

1. Influencing Capital Markets

Memo toWall Street:Coal is risky.

Forty percent of carbon dioxide emissions in the United States come from coal-fired power plants, thecountry’s dirtiest form of energy generation.And the industry is aggressively seeking to build more. In pursuit ofa clean energy future that embraces efficiency and renewables,The Sierra Club Foundation supports programs thatput the reins on King Coal’s momentum by ultimately making coal a risky, expensive investment.

Bruce Nilles, director of the Sierra Club’s National CoalCampaign, joined the Club’s staff in 2002. He was previouslya staff attorney for Earthjustice’s San Francisco office andduring the Clinton Administration was Counsel to theAssistant Attorney General for the U.S. Department ofJustice’s Environment and Natural Resources Division inWashington, D.C.

Lester Brown, founder of theWorldwatch Institute andmore recently the Earth Policy Institute, calls the Sierra Club“the national leader on this issue.”Why is the Club’s strategyso successful?

Our unique strength is our grassroots organizing pres-ence in all 50 states.We have members who are directlyaffected wherever coal plants are proposed. Living downwindfrom or close to a coal plant gives them a significant stake inwhat happens.With their help and our organizing expertise,we spring into action to educate the public and demand afull-blown review of the wisdom of adding more coal. Noone else can do that like we can.

What’s in the Club’s toolbox?

We can put an organizer on the ground quickly torally local volunteers who build alliances, educate the pub-lic, work with the media.We bring in our legal and communi-cations teams as needed.The approval process for coalplants involves permit applications for air, water, solid waste,and each provides a public venue for vigorous discussion.Weprovide expert testimony at public hearings and runaccountability campaigns, work with permitting agencies andwith whoever is in charge of making administrative decisions,like we did with the governor of Kansas in 2007.We educateeveryone about the threat of global warming, how dirty andexpensive coal is, and why the alternatives are better.

Q

Q

How does the Coal Campaign work on mining?

We want to keep as much U.S. coal reserves and carboncontent underground as possible. In particular we’re workingto stop destructive mountaintop removal mining in Appalachiaand mining in wilderness areas in Alaska.We successfully scaredthe Army Corps of Engineers into pulling a mountaintop removalpermit in Kentucky and they’re still trying to figure out how toproceed in light of the issues we raised.The worst part is thatwe’re exporting coal, which means we’re blowing up our moun-tains and desecrating our Alaskan wilderness to feed Asian coalmarkets.

Why should we worry about coal plants when China isbuilding more than we are?

It’s hard to ask China and others not to build theirplants when we’re doing the same thing.We’ve gotto show some leadership in this area, set an example. Also,we’re exporting coal overseas.We could always keep our coalin this country instead of padding King Coal’s pockets andaccelerating global warming.That would seriously impact over-seas operations.

Speaking of markets, did the Club’s coal work contributeto the decision by JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and Citibank tomake it even tougher to get financing for new coal plants?

More directly we were instrumental in persuading theU.S. Department of Agriculture to suspend a loan pro-gram for coal-fired power plants in rural communitiesthrough a fairly obscure agency called the Rural UtilityService.The federal government suspended the loans becauseof the uncertainty of climate change and the rising construc-tion costs for coal plants.Working with Earthjustice, we put avery bright spotlight on the agency, educated the public andpress and key decision-makers.The federal government basi-cally made coal plants more speculative, and now banks arerequiring coal plant developers to factor in climate changewhen they apply for funding.

Kansas Permit DenialFirst to Cite Climate Change

In 2007, Kansas—the state with the third highest potential forwind energy—became the first in the nation to reject two coal-fired power plant permits based on the threat of carbon diox-ide emissions.The plants, proposed by Sunflower Electric to bebuilt in the western part of the state, would have spewed near-ly 11 tons of CO2 into the air each year, the equivalent of put-ting 2 million new cars on the road. In a strategically coordinat-ed effort, the Sierra Club challenged the approval process anddemanded that the state regulate CO2 emissions, while astrong force of grassroots volunteers testified at permit hear-ings, held rallies, spoke to civic groups, and through the mediaeducated Kansans about the consequences of coal power. InOctober, Kansas Department of Health and EnvironmentSecretary Ron Bremby denied Sunflower’s permit, citing con-cerns that CO2 from the plants would exacerbate climatechange and threaten human health. Said Governor KathleenSebelius, “This decision will not only preserve Kansans’ healthand uphold our moral obligation to be good stewards of thisbeautiful land, but will also enhance our prospects for strongand sustainable economic growth throughout our state.”Shortly after the state rejected this plant, two other developerspulled up stakes and abandoned their coal plant plans, too.

Army CorpsWithdrawsMountaintop Removal Permit

The Sierra Club’s first legal challenge of a mountaintopremoval mining permit produced immediate results when theU.S. Army Corps of Engineers suspended a permit it hadissued to ICG Hazard less than a month earlier.The companywanted to expand its operation in Eastern Kentucky by nearly1,000 acres, destroying a total of about 4,400 acres of pristinewilderness by blowing off mountaintops and filling nearby val-leys with mining waste—a practice seen across Appalachia.Thewaste would bury and pollute several miles of streams andcreeks that lead into the Kentucky River—a water source formore than 1 million people. “I have watched mountain after

mountain reduced to rubble,” says Teri Blanton, a SierraClub member in Berea, Kentucky, adding that the area tar-geted for the expansion “is a green oasis rising out of theflattened and bare moonscape the company has alreadycreated.” The Sierra Club and KentuckyWater Alliancefiled suit in early December. Less than a month later theArmy Corps suspended the coal-mining permit—the firsttime it has done so in Kentucky—to reconsider itsapproval based on claims raised in the lawsuit.

A leader in clean technology,Thomas Dinwoodie foundedPowerLight (now SunPower) and served as its CEO and chair-man of the board since 1995. He is now CTO of the San Jose,California-based company, which has designed and built hun-dreds of large-scale solar systems around the world. Projectsinclude rooftop arrays at San Francisco’s Moscone Center andMicrosoft’s Silicon Valley campus, photovoltaic (PV) arrays com-bined with energy efficiency measures on Macy’s stores, and theworld’s largest solar power plants, located primarily in Europe.

Dinwoodie has a B.S. in environmental engineering fromCornell University, an M.S. in mechanical engineering from theMassachusetts Institute of Technology, and an M.A. in architec-ture from the University of California at Berkeley.

Obviously you’re an innovator.What role will innovationplay in solving global warming?

Solving global warming doesn’t require breakthroughinnovation. The technologies are established today and it isnow a matter of scaling to volume manufacturing and deploy-ment. There will be incremental innovation—improvements inefficiency, manufacturing, and continued feature improvements.For instance, SunPower recently advanced its world-recordsolar cell efficiency from 22 to 23.4 percent. That is a solid yetincremental improvement.

We do need progress in energy storage, to handle penetrationsof wind and solar beyond 20 to 30 percent. But this won’t reallybecome important until sometime after 2020. Storage solutionsexist today, like compressed-air energy storage, sodium sulfurbatteries, and thermal energy storage, and there is much innova-tion under way with lithium ion batteries. On the other hand,Denmark is close to 50 percent wind generation, which meansthey are proving that this problem is addressable today.

How can we get people to understand that, when youfactor in the consequences of global warming, renewables costless than traditional energy sources, particularly coal?

It’s a matter of education, and changing mindset.A little known fact is that solar competes today when compared

with new construction of conventional power plants, whethergas, coal, or nuclear. The costs of conventional plant construc-tion and fuel have risen dramatically, while the cost of solarcontinues to decline. If you compare the weighted cost of ener-gy from buildup of a 10-year, 1 gigawatt PV program vs. thecost of energy from a 1 gigawatt new nuclear plant, which takesa minimum 10 years to permit and construct, you will find thatthe cost of energy from PV is about 30 percent lower, with farless risk of execution. And you generate energy year one froma PV program, instead of waiting 10 years minimum for nuclear.

Are we making progress? Absolutely. Solar is the world’s fastestgrowing energy source. Japan gets it.They were the world’slargest market for PV until they were replaced by Germany,which, by the way, has the solar resource of Nome,Alaska. Ataxi driver in Germany can pronounce photovoltaics.You see PVeverywhere—on rooftops, barns, and in fields. Spain gets it.Denmark andTexas get it with wind. The CEOs ofWalmart,Target, and Macy’s get it. Home developers like Lennar and Sheaget it—they are building entire communities with solar andadvanced energy efficiency and reducing energy bills by 80 per-cent. And utilities are now getting it—like PG&E and SouthernCalifornia Edison, FP&L, and Duke. So big players are seeing sig-nificant opportunity—which is exactly what this will take.

Is there also an economic benefit in that a clean energyeconomy will create jobs?

I know for certain that solar is adding jobs—recently we added 30 people in one month at our Richmondoffice alone, and this economy is in a recession. I have heardthat renewable energy creates twice the number of jobs as tra-ditional sources like gas, nuclear, and coal. And since the fuel isfree, solar keeps dollars in the local economy, which createsmultiplier effects from local income and taxes.

As a society we should take care of those employed in theold industries, and help them to find jobs and opportunity inthis new energy economy. Coal communities in West Virginiaand Pennsylvania, for instance, should give incentives for localmanufacture of clean technologies. Companies take theseincentives seriously. A solar economy will bring high quality,long-lasting jobs.

Q

Q

I’m optimistic thatthe transition to

renewables is not onlypossible, but under way, andit’s going to be taken up bymarket forces that will makethe transition happen fasterthan people expect. But thatassumes groups like the SierraClub are working toforce this transition.

“

”

My first concern is global warming, and coal emits nearly40 percent of this country’s greenhouse gases.We simplyneed to transition away from coal to a clean energy economy ifwe are interested in a habitable planet.

But we have very limited time.We may be out of time, wedon’t know. Carbon levels are currently around 380 parts permillion. Some said 350 ppm should not be surpassed, so nowwe are setting 450 ppm as a new limit. Can we hold it there?Not if we keep burning coal.

Why invest in The Sierra Club Foundation?

The Foundation supports the impressive work of theSierra Club. The Club’s people are intelligent, energetic, com-mitted. The grassroots part of the organization enables power-ful negotiating leverage. It works skillfully with other non-gov-ernmental agencies and local organizations, it lets go of its ego,knows when to step back and let others lead and then sup-ports that effort.The name is trusted in Congress and with thegeneral public. People have confidence in its endorsements. Ilove Carl Pope’s blog—it’s an excellent way for the organiza-tion at the top to touch and inspire its members.

Can you offer Sierra Club members, donors, and leaderssome insights about the future of solar?

By 2040, solar will be bigger than oil. Its current growth is50 to 60 percent a year in the United States, and even if youslow that growth to 15 percent annually, as a simple geometricprogression solar would serve 100 percent of U.S. energydemand by 2040. However, solar will not need to grow to suchscale, because it will work with energy efficiency, wind, and otherrenewables to serve our load.This is not only possible, but thesetechnologies are currently on a trajectory to do it.

But while I’m optimistic about the trajectory, there are institu-tional barriers, entrenched interests, and much work to do. Myoptimism assumes that groups like the Sierra Club are workinghard to facilitate this transition, to cut sources of CO2 emis-sions, remove barriers, and help pave the way for the newenergy technologies to emerge and flourish.

If you stop a coal plant, it forces everyone to think about thealternative.While the alternatives may be here and now, it takestime for people to understand and accept that. So stoppingcoal is a first step.

Sierra Club and SteelworkersPush for Green, Clean Energy

“Secure 21st-Century jobs are those that will help solve theproblem of global warming with energy efficiency and renewableenergy.”

That may sound like a Sierra Club leader talking, but it’s actuallyUnited Steelworkers International President Leo Gerard.Thenation’s biggest grassroots environmental organization and NorthAmerica’s largest industrial union teamed up in 2006 to create theBlue Green Alliance, and the partnership continues to prove thatmeasures taken for a clean energy future need not jeopardize jobs.

“Our history with Steelworkers goes back to the 1970s whenwe were able to find common ground on the Clean Air Act,”says Alison Horton, who heads up the Sierra Club’s Blue GreenAlliance team. “Now we’re working together for a clean energyeconomy, and we’re building momentum with our partnership.”

In 2007, the Alliance and the Renewable Energy Policy Projectproduced “Road to Energy Independence,” a well-receivedreport documenting the potential manufacturing jobs thatwould come with a national Renewable Electricity Standard.The report’s state-by-state analysis estimated that, in all,820,000 manufacturing jobs could be created nationallyfrom the wind and solar power industries.

The Alliance also hosted events around the country that reachedmore than 10,000 labor-environment participants. In May, CornellUniversity and the U.N. Environment Programme worked withthe Alliance to host an international conference in NewYork Cityattended by 350 trade union leaders and environmentalists.Speakers included Leo Gerard, Carl Pope, and Dr. RobertSocolow, who heads Princeton University’s Carbon MitigationInitiative.

In a new joint effort, the Sierra Club and Steelworkers drew theconnection between the effects of deforestation on global warm-ing and job loss in the United States when they asked theDepartment of Commerce to investigate the illegal logging prac-tices in Indonesia. Unfair trade rules have allowed illegally harvest-ed timber and timber products to enter the U.S. market andcompanies using sustainably-logged fiber sources cannot com-pete. Timber from countries like Indonesia, where an estimated80 percent of logging is done illegally, gets sent to China where itis processed and the final product is exported to the UnitedStates. “Deforestation accounts for one-fifth of greenhouse gasemissions,” says Margrete Strand Rangnes of the Sierra Club’s

Sierra Club Brings Efficiencyto Post-Katrina Rebuilding

Darryl Malek-Wiley, a Sierra Club Environmental Justice organ-izer in New Orleans, works with a wide array of partners toensure that the city is rebuilt for survivability—and sustainability.

One such project brings together the Sierra Club DeltaChapter, Alliance for Affordable Energy, and the Holy CrossNeighborhood Association (HCNA) in the Lower NinthWard,whose leaders have vowed that their community will be carbonneutral by 2030.

Working through TheSierra Club Foundation,the chapter gave a grantto the neighborhoodassociation that set up arevolving fund for thebulk purchase of materialsto install radiant barriers.The barriers are made ofheavy-duty aluminum that,when placed in the attic,bounces heat out of thehouse and reduces theneed for air conditioning.It’s simple—and it savesenergy and money.

Installed by volunteers,the cost to homeowners

is $175 to $250 instead of the usual $1,600 to $1,800, makingit much more affordable.The money goes back into the revolv-ing fund to purchase more materials. So far, the Sierra Club hashelped 72 homeowners install radiant barriers.

“The neighborhood wants to come back sustainable, survivable,and carbon neutral,” says Malek-Wiley. “We’re helping them getthere.”

Trade Program.“Free trade should not mean giving an advantageto illegally harvested products.We asked the Department ofCommerce to use our trade rules to help combat this pervasiveproblem which hurts the environment and workers worldwide.”

Three Strikes,WeWinon Clean Car Standards

Automobiles account for 20 percent of U.S. greenhouse gases,so stringent rules for emissions and fuel economy are key com-ponents of solving global warming and a smarter, more efficientuse of energy.

Yet with weak federal fuel-economy standards and a claim by theU.S. EPA that the agency didn’t even have the authority to regu-late greenhouse gases, the future wasn't looking so bright.California adopted more stringent rules to reduce greenhouse gasemissions by 30 percent between 2009 and 2016 and 13 otherstates followed—but automakers took the matter to court.

Fortunately, in 2007 there were three significant legal victorieson this front, with the Sierra Club’s Environmental LawProgram playing an integral role in each case.

In a landmark decision in April, the U.S. Supreme Courtconfirmed that the federal government must addressgreenhouse gases from vehicles.

Then, federal courts in California and Vermont delivered a hugevictory to the Sierra Club and its allies when they tossed outlawsuits filed by the auto industry assailing the states’ stricteremissions standards.

Finally, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the Club andits partners when it voided the Bush administration's weak fuel-economy standards for light trucks, which by law must be set atthe “maximum feasible” level; the proposed standards would haveraised fuel economy by only 1.8 gallons between 2008 and 2011.

“These rulings support the groundswell of legal and public opin-ion that improving fuel efficiency is one of the most importantsteps we can take to fight global warming and improve energysecurity,” says Sierra Club Law Program Director Pat Gallagher,who California Lawyer magazine named 2007 “Attorney of theYear” along with a handful of other environmental attorneys.

California now awaits a federal waiver so that it and other statescan implement their Clean Car Rules. (At the time this reportwent to press, the Sierra Club had joined 16 states and fourenvironmental groups in a lawsuit to reverse EPA AdministratorStephen Johnson’s denial of the waiver.The suit is pending.)

CLEAN CAR SNAPSHOTS

Fourteen states and several Canadian provinceshave now adopted Clean Car Rules tougher thanfederal standards. Together they comprise more than40 percent of the new auto market. “Our goal is to cutCO2 pollution by spurring American know-how to pro-duce cars and light trucks that emit less global warmingpollution and go farther on a gallon of gas,” says CleanCar Campaign Director Ann Mesnikoff.Two states—NewMexico and Arizona—gained approval in 2007.

New Mexico: Sierra Club members teamed up withcoalition partners in the faith community to build sup-port for clean cars and spoke out at hearings before theAlbuquerque-Bernalillo Air Quality Control Board andEnvironmental Improvement Board, which voted inNovember to adopt a Clean Cars Law that takes effectwith model year 2011. “Our 7,000 Sierra Club membersin New Mexico can celebrate both a healthier, less smog-gy future and a significant reduction in our state’s CO2

contribution to global climate change,” says Dan Lorimierof the Rio Grande Chapter.

Arizona:Working with Arizona Governor JanetNapolitano’s Climate Change Advisory Group, the SierraClub helped win unanimous recommendations for theadoption of clean car standards. (The governor approvedthem by executive order in May 2008.)Volunteers metwith the media and wrote letters to the governor and localnewspapers.At a Club-sponsored energy film festival theycollected postcards and formed them into the shape of ahybrid car for delivery to the governor’s staff. “About 39percent of Arizona’s greenhouse gas emissions come fromvehicles,” said Sandy Bahr, conservation outreach director ofthe Sierra Club’s Grand Canyon Chapter.“This Clean CarRule will help us reduce emissions, clean up the air, andhelp do our part to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”

Cool Cities Extends toCounties—and Beyond

When U.S. leaders declined to sign the Kyoto Treaty, the enter-prising mayor of Seattle, Greg Nickels, launched the U.S. MayorsClimate Protection Agreement, a commitment by mayors tomeet Kyoto standards, reducing carbon emissions by 7 percentbelow 1990 levels by the year 2012.

“Cities want to take action to curb global warming, but manymayors do not yet have the strategies and policies in place tomeet their targets.That’s where we come in,” says Glen Brand,director of the Sierra Club’s Cool Cities campaign.

The campaign provides the structure and support for activiststo help mayors meet their goals by incorporating energy effi-ciency technology and policies, implementing renewable energysources, transitioning to green fleets, designing “green” buildings,and other measures.

Of the 825 participating cities (representing more than80 million people), 300 of them are working with localSierra Club members, and 70 of those were added in2007.All but 12 sites are run entirely by Sierra Club vol-unteers.

County leaders wanted a similar program, so the CoolCounties Climate Stabilization Declaration was announced inJuly 2007 by the Club and a dozen partner counties.The decla-ration, signed so far by 30 counties, calls for a 2 percent reduc-tion in greenhouse gas emissions each year with a goal of an 80percent reduction by 2050.

The Cool Cities campaign also extended its reach beyond the bor-ders by helping to set up programs with Sierra Club Canada andthe Danes Society for Nature Conservation in Copenhagen,Denmark, the site of the 2009 United Nations Climate ChangeConference. Brand met with members of the DenmarkParliament, the Minister of the Environment, and others who wantaction at the local level. Nine cities have already signed on.

Back at home, the campaign continued to work with partnerslike the United Steelworkers, American Lung Association, theLeague ofWomenVoters, U.S. Green Building Council, ICLEI(Local Governments for Sustainability), and local businesses andfaith groups.

3. Promoting Local and Global Solutions

Cities, counties, states, andother countries are takingthe lead.

The U.S. federal government has failed to address global warming, and continues to pursue a danger-ous path.To fill this void in leadership,The Sierra Club Foundation supports programs that deliver realprogress—from U.S. cities to communities in India and China. Fortunately, there’s no shortage of peoplewho understand how critical it is to act now—starting in their own backyard, wherever that may be.

A sampling of smart energy solutions in 2007 resulting fromSierra Club activists working with community partners andcity, county, and state governments:

Topeka, Kansas: Retrofitted 169 traffic signals with LEDlights and installed efficient lighting in buildings and sched-uling controls on the city hall HVAC system for a totalannual savings of $90,000 a year. (That’ s Topeka CityManager Norton Bonaparte, above left, receiving a CoolCities plaque fromTopeka Group Chair Paul Post.)

Des Moines, Iowa:Purchased hybrids for the city fleet,installed solar and geothermal heating systems on some citybuildings and contributed $1.5 million toward building anew corporate headquarters in the city to LEED(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards.

Sunnyvale, California: Reduced permitting fees forsolar installations.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania:Replaced incandescent trafficsignals with LED lights, saving the city $68,000 a year;switched garbage trucks to a fuel mix including biodiesel.

RoanokeValley,Virginia:Helped grow RoanokeValleyCool Cities Coalition to 80 affiliates, gave away 2,600 CFLbulbs, reached more than 3,000 residents with education-al programs, helped local governments identify resourcesto measure and reduce their greenhouse gases.

Suffolk County, NewYork: Started on biodiesel con-version and a restaurant grease-collection program for itsheavy equipment fleet; implemented a sales-tax break onsolar installations for homeowners.

State of Maine: Implemented the first statewide con-sumer recycling and safe disposal program for CFL bulbs.

Sharing and Learning from India and China

No solution to climate change will be credible or effective with-out the participation of India and China, two emerging eco-nomic powers requiring enormous energy resources.The SierraClub’s International Program works with organizations andleaders in both countries on this issue that knows no borders.

“Our programs in India and China are about collaborating onways we can tackle the challenge of climate change amongthree of the world’s largest economies,” says program directorStephen Mills. “We want to share and learn—Americans needto know more about the new India and China emerging, andwe want to make them aware of new trends toward sustain-able lifestyles in the United States.”

“We also hope that as other countries develop and seek toimprove their quality of life, they can learn from our mistakes—from the unsustainable way we’ve designed our cities to theway we power our economy,” he says.

The International Program enjoyed a significant achievement in2007 with the creation of the India Advisory Council, aremarkable group of non-resident Indians in the U.S. who, asSierra Club leaders, understand both the organization and

their mother culture.Through networking and fundraising,Council members established ties with allies in India and arepositioning the Sierra Club to help the country pursue a greenenergy pathway.

To discover and promote the good work of what Mills calls “acreative and vigorous grassroots movement,” the India AdvisoryCouncil established a Green Energy and Green LivelihoodsAchievement Award, which planned to accept nominations inspring 2008 for a $100,000 prize to be announced in 2009.

“Grassroots initiatives, rather than scientific,academic, or government activities will meritconsideration,” says Sunil Deshmukh, a member of theCouncil who lives in Miami, Florida.

Meanwhile, Mills and the Beijing-based Global EnvironmentalInstitute (GEI) made progress on its efforts to apply the SierraClub’s model of community-based conservation in an appropri-ate context for China.

“We believe that the relationships we’re building with environ-mentalists in these countries will be useful in helping to moveour government leaders beyond the current impasse on inter-national climate treaty negotiations,” says Mills.

A Sierra Club Pledge:No Child Left Inside

The goal of the Sierra Club’s Building Bridges to the Outdoorsprogram is to give every child in America the opportunity tohave an outdoor experience. Thanks to the generosity ofSierra Club Foundation donors, in 2007,more than11,000 children got outdoors with Building Bridges sup-port.

“Young people who participate in outdoor activities developleadership skills, gain respect for the natural world, live a health-ier lifestyle, and improve academic achievement, among manyother benefits,” says Building Bridges Director Martin LeBlanc.

In 2007, Building Bridges to the Outdoors granted to 25 pro-grams. By supporting existing organizations like Girl Scouts, ecoclubs, Boys and Girls Clubs, military family organizations, andothers, the program empowers communities—in places likeNewYork City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Santa Fe, and ruralAlabama—to connect their kids with the outdoors.

Some of them are at L.A.’s Crenshaw High, where the drop-outrate is twice that of the state average. Dean of Students BillVanderberg, a Sierra Club volunteer, leads the wildly popularEco Club, now 150 strong.

“In urban areas there’s a real fear about going outside,” he says.“The upper income group fears ‘stranger danger,’ and in myneighborhood, where there are gangs and violence, it’s a veryreal fear of getting shot.”

Thanks to Building Bridges, activities now include overnights inlocal regional parks and expeditions to DeathValley andYosemite,where students sleep under the stars for the first time, splash increeks, and toast marshmallows.

“This program is good not just for the health of the studentsinvolved,” says Vanderberg, “but also, in the long run, for thehealth of the planet.”

4. Building Future Leaders

Who will dotomorrow’swork?

The good work we’re doing today sets us up for a much more promising tomorrow. But who will do tomor-row’s work? Decades from now, who will passionately and strategically fight for initiatives we cannot yet evenanticipate? The Sierra Club Foundation generously funds programs that inspire youth to care about the naturalworld by getting them outside, and then provides them with the mentorship and tools to protect it.

Emily Dangremond,aWashington University student inSt. Louis, Missouri, came away from a2007 SPROG with a strong and sup-portive connection to the nationalyouth climate movement and hands-on tools that helped her campusGreen Action group set goals, map out a plan and time-line, and improve the visibility of their Campus ClimateChallenge campaign.The group gathered petition signa-tures from one-third of the student body, urging schoolofficials to include carbon neutrality as a goal in the cam-pus sustainability plan.“We caught the administration off-guard—they didn’t know students were interested,” saysDangremond.A greenhouse gas inventory is now beingprepared, with a higher level of student participation.

knew well the life-changing effect of getting urban folks into thebackcountry. Not only did it instill in them a deep appreciationof wilderness—it was just a heck of a lot of fun.

In 2007, nearly 11,000 urban young people ventured into theoutdoors with Inner City Outings programs led by trainedSierra Club volunteers, most of them working through schoolprograms.They led more than 800 trips and service projects in50 cities and introduced city kids to hiking and backpacking,rafting, skiing, and other adventures.

Thanks to Foundation donors, the ICO program receivedenhanced funding in 2007 that will enable it to strength-en local groups and grow in the next several years.Thefunding provided for the addition of a staff organizer who willwork with local ICO groups in the field to strengthen fledglinggroups and develop the capacity of existing ones.

“Our standards and expectations are very high for volunteers,”says ICO National Administrator Debra Asher, “and we need tosupport them at that high level.With this investment we’ll havea stronger, healthier program with volunteers that have bettertraining, access to better resources, and better support.”

Sierra Student CoalitionRocks theYouth Movement

Environmental youth conferences and rallies in 2007 drew thousands ofyoung people who are increasingly convinced of their ability—andresponsibility—to affect change.The Sierra Student Coalition plays aleading role in this movement, bringing to the table a combination ofeffective training, tools, organizational support, and experience thatempowers student activists.

“Stopping global warming is the challenge of our generation,and it’s up to us to show that it can and must be solved,” saysthe SSC’s National Director Tamara Evans.

Hence the week-long summer training programs—calledSPROGS—that teach grassroots organizing and leadership skills.Two hundred students attended the 2007 trainings, which wereheld in New Hampshire,Virginia, Louisiana, New Mexico, Iowa,California,Washington, and Puerto Rico.

Many trainees leveraged those lessons in the Campus ClimateChallenge, a youth initiative involving students at 300 schools inthe United States and Canada.

Renee Kelly was asophomore on the verge of droppingout of Crenshaw High when shemade a leap of faith and campedwith the Eco Club in DeathValley.She found herself steeped in naturefor the first time. It was a turningpoint for the teen, who went on to graduate from highschool and attend Alabama’s Tuskegee University. Shespent two college summers training with the SierraStudent Coalition to be an environmental justice activistand plans to pass on her knowledge as an SSC trainer inthe summer of 2008. Renee also assists with Eco Cluboutings.“Since I’m going out there into it, I think I shoulddo my part to protect it,” she says.

Bill Duong had no sense ofwilderness or why anyone would gothere, let alone work to protect it, asa child in inner-city Oakland. Whenhe was 15, a teacher who was also avolunteer with the Sierra Club’sInner City Outings program invitedhim on a river trip, which ultimately

changed the course of Duong’s life.The following summerhe spent a month doing service and trail work in theSierra Nevada.“That experience solidified my love for theoutdoors,” he says.“It’s when I really knew I wanted towork to help protect wild places.” He now works as ageologist for an environmental consulting firm inSacramento. He’s also giving back to ICO as one of theprogram’s trained leaders.“It’s great knowing they’re hav-ing the same type of experiences that changed my life asa kid,” says Duong.

As part of the Energy Action Coalition, SSC activistshelped secure 57 victories, convincing campus officials tocommit to a carbon-neutral future, analyze greenhouse gasemissions, and set goals to reduce them by buying greenenergy, running buses on diesel fuel, designing and buildingLEED certified dorms, improving and adding bike lanes,installing thousands of CFL bulbs, and other measures.

“The campaign takes the huge, potentially overwhelming issueof global warming and breaks it down into a chunk that peo-ple can apply at the campus level,” says Evans.The campaignnearly doubled to 300 the number of Sierra Student Coalitiongroups around the country.

SNAPSHOTS OF TOMORROW’S LEADERS

The Risks of Business as Usual

The Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on ClimateChange suggests that without aggressive action now, we faceenvironmental collapse and a humanitarian crisis of staggeringproportions.

Ominous?Without a doubt.Yet we have the means to reverseglobal warming and create a clean, renewable energy future.Now we must summon the will.

The Sierra Club Foundation and the Sierra Club recently com-pleted an 18 month planning process for a comprehensivemutli-year campaign to reverse global warming.The five strate-gic initiatives of our Climate Recovery Campaign will reduce cli-mate change, help avert environmental disaster, and advance aclean, renewable energy economy.

Three of the initiatives will dramatically cut U.S. carbon emis-sions and jumpstart innovation in renewable energy.

Move Beyond Coal: This initiative will work to block construc-tion of new conventional coal plants, stop destructive miningprojects, and phase out all existing dirty coal plants by 2050.

Shift to Clean Cars and Biofuels: The main goal of this ini-tiative is to help reduce U.S. annual vehicle carbon emissions to60 percent of 2006 levels by 2026.

Switch to Green Energy Buildings and Communities: Thisinitiative will focus on two main goals by 2030: achieving overallreductions of 35 percent in U.S. CO2 emissions from existingbuildings, and achieving zero greenhouse-gas emissions from allnew buildings.

Even if we stabilize and then restore the climate by cutting car-bon, we face a chaotic climate transition.We need to leverageand strengthen natural defenses to protect both ecosystemhabitats and human communities during this transition.

Preserve and Expand Natural Ecosystems for ClimateResilience: To give species the mobility to survive, we willimplement a network of “Climate Adaptation Refuge Zones” inregions where the Sierra Club has already firmly established anorganizing and advocacy land and wildlife protection program.

Restore Natural Defenses to Protect Communities: TheSierra Club will partner with leading climate risk experts toplan the strengthening of approximately six pilot “ClimateAdaptation Refuge Zones,” collaborating with our partner pro-gram, Strengthen Habitat Resilience, to fortify key areas whereecosystem resilience intersects with community protection.

Successful funding and implementation of the Climate RecoveryCampaign—expected to cost $400 to $500 million over sevenyears—will allow the Sierra Club to lead a national transforma-tion as only that organization can do.This will give the UnitedStates tremendous leverage to persuade the rest of the worldto follow suit.To help affect such large-scale change,The SierraClub Foundation will need generous lead donors to set the barfor others.We invite you to join us in an opportunity to pro-tect our children, our nation, and our planet.

Take Me to the River

Sierra ClubWater Sentinels ensure the CleanWater Actand other laws are enforced to protect our nation’s water-ways. They also organize clean-up events, which in 2007drew 76,912 student participants, says program directorScott Dye. For example, 50 Cub Scouts and high schoolstudents took part in an April cleanup at theWolf RiverHarbor in downtown Memphis. In two hours they collect-ed 500 pounds of trash—and learned about the impor-tance of clean water.
