Tips for Healing Earth #20 – 4/1/2022

Regional Allies

Healing earth takes lots of collaboration, from the local to the global level.  Today we focus on two regional allies that would welcome your help.  Both offer many opportunities for people in our area to join the good fight for the future viability of our loved ones.

Today’s Tips:

• The Piedmont Environmental Council works with residents of a nine-county region “to conserve land, create thriving communities, strengthen rural economies, celebrate historic resources, protect air and water quality, build smart transportation networks, promote sustainable energy choices, restore wildlife habitat, and improve people’s access to nature.”

Their Action Center lists many opportunities for shaping local, county, and state public policy.  Our Region lists ways to get involved in your county and Opportunities lists available volunteer jobs.

• Sierra Club Virginia Chapter “advocates for a Virginia where all people may enjoy our natural treasures, access clean air and water, and thrive in a healthy community… [coordinating] action to promote climate solutions and oppose projects and policies that put the interests of corporate polluters above the needs of communities.” See their Take Action, Blog, Events, and Newsletter pages.
