 A Note from our Chapter ChairBesides our Connecticut Chapter, there are other groups in Sierra Club that you can be part of. Learn more about the Grassroots Network and some different teams you can be part of that might interest you. Our chapter chair shares with us her experience with the Utah Wilderness Coalition. |  What's Happening at the State Capitol? Celebrate This Month by Taking Action!As we celebrate Earth Month, the urgency to take action for our planet has never been clearer—especially here in Connecticut. At the State Capitol, lawmakers are debating critical environmental legislation that will shape our state's response to climate change, clean energy expansion, and environmental justice. |  Shaping a Forest with StoriesAt the core of every movement for change is a powerful story. In our fight to protect Remington Woods, storytelling has been one of the most powerful tools we have used—not just for raising awareness, but for building connections, fostering understanding, and inspiring real action. |

Hear more about what inspires Dennis’ ride and what he has planned for this year. |  Membership MattersThe environmental crises we face – air pollution, climate change and biodiversity loss – are existential. At the federal level, environmental protections are being gutted. At the state level, there are troubling developments. Your contributions sustain our work to protect wildlife and wild places, ensure clean air and water, and fight for environmental justice. |
 Lamont Joins Trump in Pushing for Fossil Fuels, and Stop Project Maple EventsOnly a few months into 2025, we have seen the Trump Administration rollback environmental protections and clawback funding for renewable energy in an effort to support his oil and gas cronies. This destructive support for more fossil fuel use is not just at the national level, but also right here in Connecticut. |  Poetry Corner: Magic FarmEnjoy this poem and art, created by one of our members, as a few whimsical characters explore what life is supposed to be. |  Connecticut May Muffle the Ubiquitous Gas-Powered Leaf BlowerThough most of us know that gas-powered leaf blowers are noisy and polluting, you may not realize just how much so. There are alternatives and some states have started taking action — and we’re hoping Connecticut will as well. Help us push for cleaner, quieter alternatives to the loud, dirty leaf blowers of the past. |
