The Sierra Club, Harbor Vision Task Force The Sierra Club Harbor Vision Task Force is in the forefront on port and harbor-related issues. It seeks ways to regreen the harbor, reduce pollution and environmental damage caused by the shipping industry and reduce neighborhood blight without adversely impacting the economy. It is helping establish a route for the California Coastal Trail as it winds its way around the harbor in its longer trek from Oregon to Mexico. The group hopes to enhance the trail in the harbor area, and to establish a greenbelt that complete encircles the harbor. The Angeles Chapter of the Sierra Club serves the Los Angeles/Long Beach harbor area. Two additional grapes are the Long Beach Group and the Palos Verdes/South Bay Group. The national Sierra Club maintains an LNG web site. The California-based think tank Redefining Progress produced a report which is endorsed by the Sierra Club, the United Steel Workers and others called Smarter, Cleaner, Stronger which describes how renewable energy can help our environment and produce 1.4 million new jobs nationally. |

Founded in 1999, Earth Resource Foundation (ERF) is an environmental educational nonprofit organization developed to empower the general public with the resources needed to make environmentally sustainable choices and changes. Their mission is to preserve, conserve, and restore the Earth to a healthy and sustainable state by redirecting available human, technological, monetary and academic resources. It is their belief that people want to act responsibly but are either unaware of their negative impact on the environment or are hindered by barriers that prohibit them from acting responsibly. Their programs are targeted at three primary audiences: youth, communities and businesses with the goal of helping each of these groups determine their environmental issues and provide the resources to assist them in accomplishing their goals. |
