“Planetary health is inextricably linked to human health and, it turns
Building a Just and Healthy Society<br />
“Healthy People, Healthy Planet” — you can’t have one without the other. Too often, environmentalists<br />
are blamed for caring more about animals and trees than about people. Planetary health is inextricably<br />
linked to human health and, it turns out, our economic health.<br />
<strong>The</strong> destructive practice of mountaintop removal coal mining is illustrative. Under authority of<br />
the Clean Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency recently revoked the permit for Arch Coal’s<br />
proposed Spruce No. 1 mine in West Virginia. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong>, with support from <strong>The</strong> <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> and a growing community of foundations and donors, played a lead role in this victory.<br />
If permitted, Arch Coal would have buried more than seven miles of streams containing some of the<br />
greatest aquatic diversity found anywhere in North America.<br />
<strong>The</strong> human toll is just as severe. Surface-mining operations like Spruce contaminate downstream<br />
waters and pollute the air, severely impacting the health of surrounding communities. Burning coal<br />
isn’t any better. Coal plants (many in or near low-income communities and communities of color) are<br />
responsible for much of the air pollution that contributes to the deaths of 24,000 Americans every year.<br />
Cleaning up our air is not just good for our health, it’s good for our wallet—a message that the<br />
<strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> is taking to communities throughout the nation. At the 40th anniversary celebration of the<br />
Clean Air Act in <strong>2010</strong>, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson gave a powerful economic defense: “For every<br />
dollar we have spent, we get more than $40 of [economic] benefi ts in return.” <strong>The</strong> Act gave birth to<br />
new technologies like smoke-stack scrubbers and catalytic converters. American companies became<br />
dominant players in the new global market for clean technologies and created millions of jobs. When<br />
our environmental laws and the EPA are maligned<br />
as “job killers” (which will be our opponents’<br />
constant refrain this year) we must vigorously defend<br />
them for the health of our families, the health of our<br />
economy, and the health of this wonderful planet.<br />
We give our heartfelt thanks to all of you, our<br />
supporters from around the country. We hope you<br />
are pleased with the progress we made in <strong>2010</strong><br />
toward our shared vision and are inspired to support<br />
our efforts in 2011.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
out, our economic health.”<br />

Introducing Michael Brune<br />
What a difference a year makes. In March <strong>2010</strong>, with a seemingly pro-environmental majority in<br />
Congress, a comprehensive climate and energy bill still seemed possible, and the Deepwater Horizon<br />
rig was two weeks away from exploding in the Gulf of Mexico. That month, I started my job as <strong>Sierra</strong><br />
<strong>Club</strong>’s sixth Executive Director. I’m excited to be here because of the positive change we help to create.<br />
I’ve spent my career working for environmental protection. From my fi rst job as an organizer for<br />
Greenpeace, to my most recent—seven years as Executive Director at Rainforest Action Network<br />
(RAN)—I’ve always been inspired by the power of individual citizens working together to make a<br />
difference. Grassroots activists right wrongs and profoundly infl uence American democracy. As<br />
Executive Director at RAN, I was proud of how our small team was able to change the policies and<br />
behavior of some of the country’s largest corporations, including Home Depot, Citigroup, Boise<br />
Cascade, and others.<br />
I came to the <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> to make an even bigger difference. Climate<br />
chaos caused by our fossil fuel economy threatens everyone on earth. As<br />
a parent of two young children, the link between healthy people and a<br />
healthy planet is of special concern. We certainly don’t want our kids to live<br />
in a world where the air and water are increasingly poisoned, or where crop<br />
failures and climate disruption produce more destabilization and unrest.<br />
To address that global challenge, I wrote Coming Clean—Breaking<br />
America’s Addiction to Oil. Published by <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> Books in 2008,<br />
it details a plan for a new green economy that creates jobs, promotes<br />
environmental justice, and bolsters national security. Writing the book<br />
and now living it as <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong>’s Executive Director, I am humbled by the<br />
incredible power of our 1.4 million grassroots supporters and members to<br />
create positive change—a healthier planet.<br />
<strong>The</strong> work we do with activists, our environmental law team, our<br />
63 chapters in every single state, and so much more wouldn’t be possible<br />
without support from <strong>The</strong> <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>. Thank you for a year of<br />
inspiring victories. Especially as we’ve watched Congress fl ounder, what an<br />
important positive difference you’ve made. Thank you for your support.<br />

SIERRA CLUB EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Remembering Richard Goldman<br />
I fi rst met Dick Goldman in 1984. He was a Republican, and a powerful establishment<br />
fi gure in San Francisco. He didn’t let politics get in the way of pointing out when<br />
things were wrong. He thought that Ronald Reagan’s treatment of the earth was<br />
wrong.<br />
When he and his wife, Rhoda, launched the Goldman Environmental Prize,<br />
I thought it was a cool idea—but I never expected that the Prize would open up<br />
a whole new world of environmental activism. Goldman Prize winners are, well,<br />
different. <strong>The</strong>y challenge our ideas that environmental protection is basically<br />
something that scientists take care of and show that, in most of the world, it is<br />
communities that matter.<br />
In 1995, the Nigerian dictatorship arrested Goldman Prize winner Ken Saro<br />
Wiwa, the activist who was leading a peaceful movement to force Shell and other<br />
oil companies to treat the community and the local environment with dignity and<br />
decency. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> quietly applied pressure to Shell, the U.S. government, and<br />
the Nigerian regime to protect Ken. Initially, we were reassured that he would almost<br />
certainly be okay.<br />
He wasn’t. He was executed. That was the moment when I realized that the most<br />
extraordinary thing about the work we did in the U.S. was that we were relatively safe<br />
doing it. <strong>The</strong> Goldman prize was revealing to all of us that for too many, it was not.<br />
Richard encouraged the <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> to take this work of “protecting the protectors” to the<br />
next level, by partnering in a major joint effort with Amnesty International. Perhaps our proudest<br />
Goldman moment was when our International Programs Director, Stephen Mills, went to Mexico<br />
to persuade the Mexican government to release another Goldman Prize winner, Rodolfo Montiel<br />
Flores, after 2 ½ years in prison on trumped-up charges of murder.<br />
Building on what he had learned, and taking risks to get to the next level, was the essence<br />
of Richard Goldman’s environmental engagement. Goldman Prize winners, like our own Lynn<br />
Henning, sometimes get to meet the President, and like Kenyan Goldman winner Wangari Matthai,<br />
sometimes win the Nobel Prize. But, fi rst, they faced down threats for what they believed in. <strong>The</strong>n,<br />
they were encouraged by the legacy of Richard Goldman—a different kind of philanthropist. He<br />
believed that environmental protection cannot be separated from community dignity and political<br />
justice. That is his lasting legacy.<br />

Moving Beyond Coal<br />
As this report goes to press, 150 proposed coal-fi red power plants have been abandoned or<br />
defeated since <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong>’s Beyond Coal campaign began. Hundreds of activists turned out to<br />
support the EPA’s strong clean air rules and regulation of coal ash, thus forcing existing plants to<br />
pay for the pollution they caused, the <strong>Club</strong> continues to level the playing fi eld for clean energy<br />
technologies and effi ciency measures.<br />
COALITION BUILDING TO TURN THE TIDE AGAINST COAL IN UTAH<br />
In the winter of 2006-07, a prolonged temperature inversion in the Salt Lake Valley caused dense<br />
smog to blanket the area for nearly a month. “Air pollution gets intense under these circumstances,”<br />
said Dr. Brian Moench, an anesthesiologist at Latter Day Saints Hospital in Salt Lake City. “I was<br />
distressed that there wasn’t any dialogue or statements from politicians acknowledging the public<br />
health issues involved.” Moench penned an op-ed to the Salt Lake Tribune about the consequences<br />
of air pollution and his dismay about offi cial inaction.<br />
<strong>The</strong> piece caught the eye of local <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> organizers, who invited Moench to join the<br />
campaign to stop construction of new coal-fi red power plants in the Beehive State. <strong>The</strong> result was<br />
the formation of Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment (UPHE).<br />
“At the time, there were proposals to build 14 new plants in the interior West—four of them in<br />
Utah,” Moench said. “We were alarmed by the prospect of being surrounded by more coal plants<br />
and decided it was intolerable to let that happen.”<br />
As UPHE president, Moench is the group’s point person for the media and state agencies, giving<br />
testimony and presentations at public hearings. More than 30 of his articles have been published<br />
in Salt Lake City newspapers, and he speaks at venues around the state several times a month. “We<br />
decided our biggest potential ally would be the public, so our strategy has been to share the medical<br />
research with them wherever possible.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> result has been a dramatic shift in public attitude and the outlook for new coal plants in<br />
Utah: Of the four new coal plants proposed in the state when UPHE formed, three have been shelved,<br />
and the fourth appears all but dead.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> perception of the need for coal plants, and their acceptability, has undergone a major<br />
shift paralleling public awareness of climate change,” Moench said, “From the standpoint of<br />
Toxic wastes from coal combustion have been linked to
economics, personal health, and the future of the planet, there’s just no way we can excuse<br />
the development of further coal plants in the West or any other part of the United States—<br />
or the world, for that matter.”<br />
MINERS, ENVIRONMENTALISTS FIND COMMON GROUND<br />
In November, a gathering hosted by the Sangamon Valley group of the Illinois <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong><br />
brought together some unlikely allies. <strong>Club</strong> members, supporters, and coal miners came<br />
to hear Jeff Biggers, recipient of the <strong>Club</strong>’s <strong>2010</strong> David Brower Award for Environmental<br />
<strong>Report</strong>ing, speak about his latest book, Reckoning at Eagle Creek: <strong>The</strong> Secret Legacy of Coal<br />
in the Heartland.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> front row was all miners—three in uniform—along with the head of the Illinois<br />
Coal Association,” said Will Reynolds, chair of the group and vice-chair of the Illinois<br />
Chapter of <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong>. “Jeff focused his talk on miners and mining—saying no one’s looking<br />
out for the coal miners, especially not the companies. <strong>The</strong>re are a lot of areas of agreement.<br />
By the end, everyone wanted to develop clean energy. <strong>The</strong> miners saw the need for it—they<br />
want the jobs.”<br />
For Biggers, this further proved to him that a transition to clean energy is possible.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> battle for coal mining safety and fairness has always gone hand in hand with battles to<br />
preserve our lands. By stressing our historical movements to defend coal mining communities<br />
against companies more interested in profi t than workplace safety, clean water or air, or<br />
justice—and by asking the audience<br />
to envision a sustainable future<br />
through a just transition that did<br />
not abandon coal miners, but<br />
included them, we were able to have<br />
an informative and civil discussion.<br />
One miner, who had come ready to<br />
confront the <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong>, gave me a<br />
hug after the event, and said, ‘This<br />
was fun. I can’t wait for the next<br />
<strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> meeting.’ ”<br />

“I have become more<br />
convinced than ever that we<br />
can bridge the fabricated<br />
divide between coal mining<br />
communities and organizations<br />
like the <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> by laying<br />
out a roadmap for a just<br />
transition to a sustainable<br />
and clean energy future. <strong>The</strong><br />
coalfi elds should be ground<br />
zero for any clean energy<br />
revolution.”<br />

Moving Beyond Coal (continued)<br />
COLORADO MOVES BEYOND COAL TO A HEALTHIER CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE<br />
Even as leaders in D.C. sit paralyzed in the clean energy fi ght, the <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> and its allies proved<br />
that this nation can move beyond coal. In December, the Colorado Public Utilities Commission<br />
(PUC) approved plans by Xcel Energy and Black Hills Corp. to shut down or repower nine boilers at<br />
four coal-burning power plants by 2017. Two additional boilers were taken offl ine earlier in the year,<br />
ultimately phasing out coal in the Denver area. Closing down the coal plants aligns with Colorado’s<br />
law that sets a 30% renewable energy standard by 2020.<br />
With support from <strong>The</strong> <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>, <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> volunteers and staff were<br />
instrumental in this phase-out, playing a key role in educating the public about coal’s health impacts<br />
and galvanizing public outcry to get Colorado off coal. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Club</strong> organized educational forums,<br />
house parties, and media events; turned out hundreds of grassroots volunteers to air permit hearings;<br />
and generated hundreds of letters to the governor’s offi ce. <strong>The</strong> retirement or conversion of the<br />
four plants will ultimately keep 10,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, 12,000 tons of nitrogen oxides, and<br />
6.75 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere every year, providing future generations of<br />
Coloradans with cleaner air to breathe.<br />
DEFINING ENVIRONMENTALLY-RESPONSIBLE SITING CRITERIA<br />
<strong>The</strong> Wisconsin Public Service Commission (PSC) invited the <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> to help<br />
assess the human and environmental impacts of offshore wind power development on<br />
Great Lakes aquatic habitats. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> supported the <strong>Club</strong> in this<br />
collaboration with staff scientists at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and<br />
the University of Wisconsin Great Lakes WATER Institute in Milwaukee. <strong>The</strong>ir goal was<br />
to gather data on which to base environmentally responsible offshore wind siting criteria<br />
for the PSC.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir high-quality work attracted the attention of the Great Lakes Commission,<br />
that subsequently invited the <strong>Club</strong> to participate in a new Offshore Wind Working<br />
Group within the Great Lakes Wind Collaborative. Using the <strong>Club</strong>’s research, the<br />
group developed a similar set of offshore wind generation guidelines and summarized<br />
them in a white paper, Siting Principles and Policy Options for Wind Development on<br />
the Great Lakes.<br />
Smog from coal and oil is particularly bad for children,
GRANTS IN PARTNERSHIP<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> acts as the fi scal sponsor for new and ongoing projects of <strong>Sierra</strong><br />
<strong>Club</strong> groups and chapters at the community level. Our partnership with other funders ensures<br />
accountability and effi cient use of funding to promote shared goals.<br />
RAISING EFFICIENCY STANDARDS IN THE LONE STAR STATE<br />
In the past year, <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong>’s Lone Star Chapter focused on education and administrative<br />
advocacy for the implementation of more energy-effi cient building codes at the federal, state,<br />
and local level. With a grant from the Energy <strong>Foundation</strong>, the chapter held workshops, produced<br />
a brochure, generated comments, and prepared letters to the editor that helped convince the<br />
State Energy Conservation Offi ce (SECO) to adopt the 2009 International Energy Conservation<br />
Code as the state minimum standard for most buildings. <strong>The</strong> chapter also helped educate local<br />
city offi cials about energy-effi cient building codes, the SECO adoption, and alternative fi nancing<br />
mechanisms through the federal competitive grant program and other funding opportunities<br />
available as a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.<br />
BETTER STANDARDS IN THE BUCKEYE STATE<br />
With grants from the George Gund and Edwards Mother Earth foundations, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> was able to support <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong>’s Ohio Chapter in the implementation of Ohio’s<br />
energy effi ciency resource and renewable portfolio standards. As a result, several utilities fully<br />
complied with the effi ciency and renewables provisions outlined in the standards. <strong>The</strong> chapter<br />
has also been involved in an organized and cohesive coalition effort advocating for more<br />
energy-effi cient building codes in Ohio. Grassroots organizing and media efforts are at the heart<br />
of the chapter’s ongoing clean energy campaign, including several successful media events<br />
to showcase churches in Dayton and Columbus that are addressing climate change through<br />
energy effi ciency investments.<br />

Moving Beyond Oil<br />
When the BP Disaster hit, the <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> hit back, ensuring that the nation’s biggest<br />
environmental disaster would not be forgotten. As hard as BP tried to make the catastrophe<br />
a “non-event,” the <strong>Club</strong> elicited more media coverage in the fi rst 30 days than all other<br />
environmental organizations combined. In the following weeks, the <strong>Club</strong> called for<br />
a global day of action to protest BP’s negligence; more than 800 Hands<br />
Across the Sand events sprang up in all 50 states plus<br />
35 other countries.<br />
While the massive, months-long tragedy in the Gulf held<br />
the nation’s attention throughout the summer, two more<br />
<strong>2010</strong> spills in Michigan and Alaska underscored the need to<br />
address our ongoing energy needs in a comprehensive way.<br />
Today, evidence is mounting that the disaster will cost far more<br />
than originally estimated. Even as marine scientists<br />
report that oil residues have not<br />
broken down, but remain on<br />
the ocean fl oor, Louisiana offi cials<br />
reveal that BP has reneged on<br />
commitments it made to help<br />
restore oyster beds and fi sheries.<br />
Not only does our oil addiction cause<br />
huge harm to our environment through<br />
spills and greenhouse gas pollution, it also<br />
puts a sizable dent in our economy: In <strong>2010</strong>, Americans<br />
sent half a billion dollars overseas each day to import foreign oil. Transportation accounts for<br />
70 percent of our country’s oil use—much of it fueling cars, SUVs, and light trucks. <strong>The</strong> good<br />
news is that investing in smarter, sustainable choices—such as walking, biking, and public<br />
transit—not only reduces our dependence on oil and protects the environment, but can also<br />
improve our economy. Several recent studies—including an analysis of the 2009 American<br />
Recovery and Reinvestment Act—have shown that spending on public transit infrastructure<br />
creates more jobs per dollar invested than does spending on road construction.

HYPERION DELAYS PLANS FOR MASSIVE TAR SANDS OIL REFINERY<br />
Producing oil from tar sands emits three to fi ve times as much global warming pollution as<br />
conventional oil. It also requires excessive amounts of energy and water, and destroys swaths of<br />
boreal forest. In a big win for the <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> and its allies, Hyperion Refi ning announced it will<br />
delay buying the land for a proposed tar sands oil refi nery in Union County, South Dakota.<br />
Citing opposition from environmental groups and the economic recession, Hyperion admitted<br />
that now is not a good time to build the $10 billion facility. <strong>The</strong> company currently holds options<br />
on about 6,000 acres, and will negotiate with land owners to extend the time frame in which<br />
it must exercise those options. <strong>The</strong> proposed refi nery would process 400,000 barrels per day of<br />
Canadian tar sands crude, posing a serious risk to public health and the environment. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Sierra</strong><br />
<strong>Club</strong> continues to fi ght this dirty fuel and promote cleaner alternatives.<br />
Mercury, arsenic, lead, and other carcinogens exist
CELEBRATING A NEW STANDARD OF FUEL ECONOMY<br />
Over the past five years, <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> grassroots activists worked state-by-state with chapter and national<br />
transportation organizers to promote higher fuel economy standards like the ones California implemented<br />
in 2004. By 2009, 13 states and the District of Columbia had adopted California’s Clean Car Standards<br />
(also called “Pavley Standards,” after California Senator Fran Pavley). This prevented 960 million metric tons<br />
of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere that year. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Club</strong> continued its work, pushing for<br />
administrative action and, in <strong>2010</strong>, the Pavley standards became the federal standard. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> is proud of the long-game strategy it supported to see many of these victories realized.<br />

ANOTHER STAR FOR THE NORTH STAR CHAPTER — NORTH STAR LAND USE AND<br />
TRANSPORTATION ORGANIZING PROJECT<br />
Over the past two years, <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong>’s North Star Chapter has achieved signifi cant progress<br />
on land use and transportation issues in Minnesota by protecting open spaces, increasing<br />
public demand for transit choices, and minimizing sprawl throughout the Twin Cities. Thanks<br />
to a multi-year grant from <strong>The</strong> McKnight <strong>Foundation</strong> to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>, the<br />
chapter conducted grassroots organizing, administrative advocacy, and public education<br />
initiatives. Specifi cally, it helped implement improved pedestrian and bicycle provisions;<br />
shaped the statewide transportation plan and the regional allocation of funds; launched an<br />
ambitious Transit to Green Space campaign; protected urban parkland from development and<br />
privatization; and held the annual Conference on Wheels.<br />
SIERRA CLUB RESOLVE PRESERVES D.C. TRANSIT SYSTEM<br />
<strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> members from the Great Falls Group and throughout the Washington, D.C.<br />
region collaborated through the Sustainable Metro D.C. program to stop proposed fare<br />
increases and $44 million in bus and rail service cuts.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Club</strong> conducted administrative advocacy in seven government jurisdictions to ensure<br />

Building<br />
Resilient Habitats<br />
From its earliest days, the <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> has protected wildlife and wild places, taking thousands<br />
of people each year into the outdoors to experience wilderness fi rsthand, then involving<br />
them in projects to save the lands they’ve explored. Unfortunately, as climate disruption<br />
causes habitats to shift, it’s no longer enough to simply save a specifi c piece of land. Today,<br />
the <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> and <strong>The</strong> <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> promote climate-smart land management<br />
and efforts to reduce outside stressors such as drilling and mining. By expanding our<br />
defi nition of habitat protection, wildlife and wild places will continue to thrive.<br />
ROOM TO ROAM: HELPING MAINE’S WILDLIFE THRIVE<br />
Strong wilderness protection requires healthy partnerships between the government,<br />
private landowners, and conservation activists. In <strong>2010</strong>, the USDA awarded $5.9 million<br />
of Wildlife Habitat Improvement Program funding to the New York and New England<br />
region, focusing $2 million on Maine—citing the good work of the Keeping Maine’s<br />
Forests initiative, in which the <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> has a leading role. <strong>The</strong> USDA funding will<br />
support private landowners who choose to improve wildlife habitat on their lands. <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Club</strong> and its affi liates garnered impressive positive public participation in the New<br />
Hampshire and Maine America’s Great Outdoors listening sessions, elevating the national<br />
importance of the region. <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> further engaged Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar<br />
in the Maine conservation dialogue in 2009 and <strong>2010</strong>, which led to direct meetings with<br />
Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and his staff throughout the year.<br />
Meanwhile, <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> activists were key in securing a strong Comprehensive Land<br />
Use Plan that will keep intact most of the 10.5 million acres of the forested lands of the<br />
unorganized territories known as the Maine Woods. <strong>The</strong> governor appointed <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong><br />
members to a task force of stakeholders to fi ne-tune technical aspects of the Plan. “<strong>The</strong><br />
governor called me directly when the plan was approved,” said Karen Woodsum, Maine’s<br />
Resilient Habitats Director.<br />
In <strong>2010</strong>, <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> took more than 242,000 youth outdoors,
PROTECTING BULL TROUT HABITAT KEEPS ECOSYSTEMS CLEAN<br />
<strong>The</strong> bull trout seeks out cold streams with ample shelter and clean gravel in the Western United<br />
States and parts of Canada. By protecting and enhancing the specifi c habitat requirements of the<br />
bull trout, we can improve the water quality of rivers and lakes throughout their range. As such,<br />
<strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong>’s Resilient Habitats campaign identifi ed as a priority safeguarding critical habitat for<br />
bull trout, a threatened species and indicator of ecosystem health.<br />
When the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) reopened a 2005 rulemaking on the subject,<br />
<strong>Club</strong> organizers mobilized communities in support of an expanded conservation proposal, generating<br />
most of the public comments received by the agency. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Club</strong> drew a clear link between bull trout<br />
health and the health of wild salmon, rainbow trout, and other fi sh that form the foundation of a<br />
multimillion-dollar recreational economy and a cherished outdoor heritage.<br />
In October, the FWS released a revised critical habitat designation for the bull trout. Thanks to<br />
<strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong>’s investment in this rulemaking, 19,000 miles of streams (fi ve times the previous length)<br />
and 490,000 acres of lakes and reservoirs (three times more than previously ordered), have been<br />
designated bull trout critical habitats. While this rule excludes lands covered by Washington State’s<br />
Forest Practices Habitat Conservation Plan, it is a tremendous and celebration-worthy improvement<br />
to America’s water habitats.<br />
SIERRA CLUB SEALS A SWEET DEAL IN FLORIDA<br />
<strong>The</strong> ‘River of Grass’ will fl ow once again—a victory <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> has been working toward<br />
for years. In <strong>2010</strong>, then-governor Charlie Crist announced the state of Florida will purchase<br />
nearly 27,000 acres of sugarcane fi elds from U.S. Sugar, to be restored to their natural<br />
wetland state.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Club</strong> and its allies have long worked for a clean and healthy Everglades—protecting<br />
thousands of recreational jobs, providing safe drinking water for millions, and extending<br />
habitat for the endangered panther and manatee, and more than 350 bird species, including<br />
the iconic fl amingo.<br />
To urge the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) to extend a contract<br />
to purchase the land, the <strong>Club</strong>’s grassroots organizing team sent 50 supporters wearing ‘Seal<br />
the Deal’ stickers to a hearing on Seminole tribal lands. Additionally, the <strong>Club</strong> generated<br />
hundreds of emails to each member of the SFWMD Governing Board urging a vote in favor<br />
of the purchase.<br />
U.S. Sugar has agreed to sell 27,000 of its 187,000 acres for $194 million, with options<br />
to sell the rest over 10 years. Moving the land from private to public hands will yield<br />
benefi ts for the residents of Florida—human and wildlife alike.<br />

Poisonous run-off from factory farms and fossil fuel production choke our water supply, causing<br />
dangerous chemicals to seep into fragile ecosystems. Flooding and droughts, brought on by<br />
climate disruption, further degrade America’s rivers and streams. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> works to test,<br />
enforce, and improve water quality standards, restore wetlands, and inspire local communities to<br />
fi ght for healthy, clean water.<br />
REVIVING THE DEAD ZONE<br />
A “dead zone” is an area of water so polluted with nitrogen and phosphorus that oxygen is depleted<br />
and the ecosystem is destroyed. <strong>The</strong> Gulf of New Mexico includes a 7,000-square-mile dead zone<br />
resulting from runoff from thousands of square miles of the Mississippi River ecoregion. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Sierra</strong><br />
<strong>Club</strong> is working to fi x that. <strong>Club</strong> supporters collected more than 42,000 signatures on a petition to<br />
the EPA requesting strict regulation of these pollutants in commercial operations. Today, the EPA<br />
routinely references that work as evidence of widespread public support for nitrogen and phosphorus<br />
standards as it continues to develop a strategy to curb this pollution. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Club</strong> also worked to restrict<br />
phosphorus and nitrogen discharge by organizing the new 10-state Mississippi River Issue Team. <strong>The</strong><br />
team works strategically with local organizers and state departments of environmental quality. As a<br />
result, New York, Illinois, and Wisconsin all passed tougher regulatory standards.<br />
WATER SENTINELS TEAM UP TO GET MORE KIDS FISHING<br />
<strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong>’s Water Sentinels program partnered with Recreational Boating & Fishing <strong>Foundation</strong>’s<br />
Take Me Fishing campaign, the National Military Fish & Wildlife Association, and fi shing equipment<br />
manufacturer Zebco to distribute more than 500 rods and reels for use by families on military<br />
installations in the U.S. Studies have clearly demonstrated that involving children in outdoor<br />
recreation improves school performance, reduces stress, enhances self-esteem, develops interpersonal<br />
skills, and has a positive impact on overall health. Fishing is one of the outdoor activities shown to<br />
contribute to these benefi ts. <strong>The</strong> rods and reels provided by this program will help introduce youth to<br />
the outdoor experience and is particularly important for the nation’s military youth, who may<br />
otherwise face barriers to recreation due to overseas deployment of parents.<br />

America’s Waters
SIERRA CLUB STOPS DESTRUCTIVE STRIP MINING IN FLORIDA<br />
In July, the <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> and its allies took legal action to secure a victory for Florida’s forests,<br />
wetlands, and streams. Responding to the lawsuit, a district court judge temporarily halted all strip<br />
mining activities that threaten jurisdictional U.S. waters at Mosaic Fertilizer’s 10,855-acre South<br />
Fort Meade Extension phosphate mine site in Hardee County, Florida.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Army Corps of Engineers halted a ‘dredge and fi ll’ project that would have authorized the<br />
destruction of 534 acres of wetlands and 10.7 miles of streams feeding the Charlotte Harbor estuary<br />
and Peace River—a priority watershed, as designated by the EPA, and a drinking water source for<br />
700,000 Floridians.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Court issued its ruling based on the Corps’ failure to hold a public hearing, make permit<br />
documents publicly available, or prepare an Environmental Impact Statement before issuing the<br />
permit—all violations of the National Environmental Policy Act and Clean Water Act. <strong>The</strong> Corps<br />
also failed to properly consider the cumulative environmental impacts of the proposed mine, when<br />
hundreds of thousands of acres surrounding the Charlotte Harbor estuary and Peace River are<br />
already being strip-mined for phosphate.<br />
LOCAL ACTIVIST FIGHTS POLLUTERS IN MICHIGAN—AND WINS BIG<br />
Ten years ago when Lynn Henning realized that the factory farms proliferating near her family<br />
farm in Michigan were polluting the air and water and endangering her loved ones’ health, she<br />
took them on. Through the <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong>, Henning organized her neighbors,<br />
lobbied state regulatory agencies and the EPA, and tirelessly amassed<br />
evidence of factory farms’ dangerous manure disposal practices—collecting<br />
water samples that proved more than 1,000 violations by the Vreba-Hoff<br />
Dutch dairy cartel. Thanks to her work, 16 Concentrated Animal Feeding<br />
Operation (CAFO) dairies were shut down. <strong>The</strong> state of Michigan has a<br />
lien against Vreba-Hoff for $585,000 in environmental fi nes.<br />
For her work, Lynn won the <strong>2010</strong> Goldman Environmental Prize<br />
for North America. In addition to meeting President Obama and EPA<br />
Administrator Lisa Jackson, she was named in Oprah Winfrey’s O Magazine<br />
<strong>2010</strong> Power List. Oprah’s team was so impressed with Lynn’s efforts, they<br />
returned to Michigan to examine how farming in her region had changed.<br />
Not only did she save her own community, her commitment illustrates the<br />
difference our 32,000 volunteer activists, nationwide, are making every day.<br />

Serving Those<br />
Who Serve<br />
By targeting our support at the community level—where transformation begins—we help build<br />
and broaden the environmental movement. We are especially proud of our work with active duty<br />
and veteran members of the United States armed forces. From connecting military families with the<br />
healing powers of our natural heritage, to training veterans for green jobs in their hometowns, our<br />
funding prioritizes the well-being of our nation’s warriors.<br />
NEWLY TRAINED VETERANS DELIVER ENERGY SAVINGS<br />
With one in four construction workers currently unemployed—<br />
and as many as one in fi ve veterans unemployed—there is an<br />
urgent need to generate good, green, and forward-looking jobs<br />
like those established through the Military Housing Energy<br />
Effi ciency Project (MHEEP).<br />
This unique initiative brings together the <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong>,<br />
Veterans Green Jobs, Laborers International Union of North<br />
America (LIUNA), Ardently Green, and the D.C. Project to<br />
create green jobs and cut residential energy use. <strong>The</strong> project<br />
takes a two-pronged approach that honors veterans’ service to<br />
our country by providing green job training while also offering<br />
complimentary cost-saving home energy upgrades to active duty<br />
service members.<br />
MHEEP has provided these upgrades to more than 30<br />
service members throughout the Northern Virginia area. Through<br />
MHEEP, veterans are identifi ed by Veterans Green Jobs and<br />
trained to weatherize residential properties by LIUNA. Following<br />
training, the veterans will join the green economy and weatherize<br />
the homes of 50 military families in the region.<br />

doing what you’re already<br />
doing and connect your work<br />

Justice & Community<br />
Partnerships<br />
Climate disruption is not an equal opportunity threat. People of color, indigenous communities,<br />
and low income families bear disproportionate burdens such as asthma, certain types of cancer,<br />
cardiac problems, and heat-related deaths. It’s not right. Over the past decade, through carefully<br />
nurtured relationships, the <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> has been bringing the environmental health issues of these<br />
most vulnerable communities into the national spotlight.<br />
REDUCING THE RISK OF CULTURAL ENDANGERMENT IN THE GULF COAST<br />
Reliant on shrimping, fi shing, oystering, and hunting since before Louisiana was a state, the livelihood<br />
of the United Houma Nation of the Gulf Coast has been devastated by the BP oil disaster. With limited<br />
internet access and minimal interaction with other media, the Houma Tribe is challenged to stay current<br />
on details about the spill. To ensure they are informed about the health and legal issues they face, <strong>Sierra</strong><br />
<strong>Club</strong>’s Environmental Justice organizer, Darryl Malek-Wiley, met with the Tribe several times on their<br />
land in Raceland, Louisiana. Malek-Wiley, who has been collaborating with communities in the South<br />
for more than 30 years, provides them with information on spill-related issues, such as the composition<br />
of the notorious oil dispersant and who to contact if they spot oil creeping into their waters. In the face<br />
of the worst oil disaster in American history, we stand beside the Houma Tribe to ensure their rights and<br />
needs as a culture are met.<br />
RECYCLING THE WAY TO A HEALTHIER DETROIT<br />
Residents of neighborhoods in the 48217 zip code had been living with toxic air<br />
pollution for far too long. Sick and tired of horrifi c air quality—from a local<br />
incinerator and more than 25 other high-polluting facilities—community members<br />
(85% of whom are African American) and <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong>’s Environmental Justice<br />
program joined forces to bring about sorely needed change. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Club</strong> has been<br />
battling to shut down the incinerator—located directly across the street from a high<br />
Low-income communities and people of color bear disproportionate<br />

school—that is poisoning the neighborhood with mercury and lead. <strong>Club</strong> volunteers Ed McArdle,<br />
Anna Holden, and Carol Izant pushed the city to sever its incinerator ties for economic reasons.<br />
“Not only is the incinerator bad for our local community’s health,” said local <strong>Club</strong> organizer<br />
Rhonda Anderson, “it’s not a sustainable, job-creating solution, either.” Anderson and her team<br />
have been instrumental in starting two pilot recycling projects, with the goal of providing city-wide<br />
curbside recycling—thus creating jobs while “starving” the incinerator. By organizing and attending<br />
meetings with heads of key city departments, the <strong>Club</strong> helped increase the number of residences<br />
served by the program while ensuring future funding. Anderson noted, “By converting to citywide<br />
curbside recycling, we will create new, good, green jobs and healthier communities overall.”<br />
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE PROGRAM NATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS<br />
■ Washington, D.C.: <strong>The</strong> Anacostia Coordinating Council contacted the <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> to help organize a<br />
forum on How Do We Create Vibrant, Sustainable East of the River Communities? Residents, public offi cials,<br />
businesses, and community groups convened for the daylong event. Local Environmental Justice organizer<br />
Irv Sheffey led the discussion about turning this underserved area—which contains highly polluted<br />
waterways and neighborhoods—into a healthy, sustainable, and thriving community.<br />
■ West Virginia: In November <strong>2010</strong>, the <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> co-sponsored <strong>The</strong> Toll of Coal: Cradle to Grave Impacts of<br />
Coal on Human Health. Held in Huntington, West Virginia, the conference focused on the adverse health<br />
effects and subsequent $96 million in annual health care costs that arise due to America’s coal dependency.<br />
Rita Harris, the <strong>Club</strong>’s Environmental Justice organizer in Memphis, served as keynote speaker. <strong>The</strong><br />
conference also included educational workshops connecting grassroots workers with scientists, doctors,<br />
and other coal experts.<br />
■ South Carolina: Residents in a low-income African American neighborhood in rural Barnwell County, South<br />
Carolina, suspected their backyard wells were being polluted by a nearby industrial facility. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Sierra</strong><br />
<strong>Club</strong> responded to their request for help, prompting the EPA to test the wells. <strong>The</strong> investigation revealed<br />
contamination from mercury and other harmful toxins, and the <strong>Club</strong> succeeded in securing access to safe<br />
drinking water through city water lines.<br />
■ Puerto Rico: Since government protection of the Northeast Ecological Corridor was removed in 2009, the<br />

ecosystem boundaries, the <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> not<br />
only encouraged members and supporters<br />
across the nation to attend public meetings<br />
to voice their opinions, it also engaged a<br />
strong youth coalition. <strong>The</strong> Building Bridges<br />

Water W Sentinels<br />
In <strong>2010</strong>, Water Sentinels had more than 12,000 certifi ed water quality monitors<br />
testing the nation’s water in 48,000 square miles of watershed that is home to<br />
184 million Americans. Data collected is used to educate the public, advocate for<br />
cleaning up polluted waterways, and alert state and federal regulatory offi cials of<br />
serious water quality violations.<br />
Through partnerships with Trout Unlimited, the Federation of Fly Fishers, the<br />
National Military Fish and Wildlife Association, and <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong>’s Inner City<br />
Outings, the Water Sentinels program is active in every state.

behalf of wilderness and wildlife, especially<br />
as climate change shifts habitat ranges. In<br />
<strong>2010</strong>, the <strong>Club</strong> helped to designate thousands<br />
of river miles and acres of lakes for the bull<br />
trout, promoted climate-smart management<br />
of forested lands in Maine, and expanded a<br />
critical habitat for Canada lynx in the Rockies.<br />

ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong> | THE SIERRA CLUB FOUNDATION<br />
“I am involved with <strong>The</strong> <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
for several reasons: primarily, I subscribe to<br />
the values and goals of the <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> and<br />
believe it to be the most infl uential conservation<br />
organization in the U.S.A. I am especially<br />
impressed with the <strong>Club</strong>’s efforts to engage<br />
youth with the outdoors and conservation.”<br />

A Wise Investment<br />
Building a just and healthy society—one in which both humans and nature thrive—<br />
is not only a compassionate choice, but also a wise one. This kind of smart,<br />
opportunity-focused investment is what will move us into a future that is economically<br />
prosperous and environmentally sound.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> is proud to have earned a four-star rating from nonprofi t<br />
watchdog Charity Navigator, as well as an A+ from the American Institute of<br />
Philanthropy, and spends more than 90 cents of every dollar on conservation<br />
programs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> donors with whom we partner and the grantees we support are all part of this<br />
solutions-oriented effort. Our collaboration is about more than dollars for programs.<br />
Rather, it is about investing in people, places, and ideas in ways that bring the most<br />
benefi t—investment that cultivates the change we need to grow healthy people and<br />
a healthy planet.<br />
We hope you will join us.<br />
Gifts of any size to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> contribute to building a vibrant and diverse<br />
firmly on the path to a greener future. To make a gift, please visit www.tscf.org or call
