Citizens from southeastern Colorado have been working valiantly to resist a proposed tripling in size of the Piñon Canyon army maneuver
site. This expansion, equivalent in size to the State of Connecticut, could eliminate much of the Comanche National Grasslands, along with
hundreds of thousands of acres of private ranchland. These unique canyonlands shelter thousand-year old Native American sacred sites,
along with abundant wildlife and the longest dinosaur trackway in North America. Many ranching families have lived on these lands for
more than a century.
Lon Robertson, director of the Piñon Canyon Expansion Opposition Coalition, will update us on what’s at stake and what’s being done to
resist the Army’s efforts to appropriate private and public land in southeastern Colorado. Please join us in this important discussion about
saving a geographical and cultural treasure. This event is cosponsored by Sierra Club Indian Peaks Group.
New Sierra Club Partnership
Providing people with solutions to help them live clean, green lives is core to the Sierra Club’s mission. Carl Pope recently announced the
Club’s first cause-related marketing venture involving a widely-distributed consumer product - “Green Works” -- a new line of all-natural
eco-friendly products being launched by Clorox.
The Green Works cleaning products are made from corn- or coconut-based cleaning agents, essential lemon oils, and other natural
ingredients; they contain no toxic chemicals, phosphorus, or bleach. The product packaging will contain the Sierra Club’s name and logo
and a statement about Green Works’ support for Sierra Club’s efforts to preserve and protect the environment.
