(34,179 posts)The Sierra Club wasn't responsible for the ESA, Nixon actually was. As far as the parks they established, that was a hundred plus years ago. What have they done lately?
Never, ever in their history have they put their ass on the line and gotten involved in civil disobedience, unlike some of their more contemporary peers like Green Peace. That is why this is such big news, it has gotten bad enough that the staid, old SC is actually going to put their ass on the line.
Furthermore, SC endorsed Clorox bleach as "green", ie greenwashing, in exchange for a cash contribution. Meanwhile, a couple of years ago, SC's Carl Pope toured the country with some folks from the natural gas industry, pushing how natural gas is good for the environment, more greenwashing. That's just the beginning, you can do the research on your own.
