No matter where you make your home—in the heartland or on the ocean, in foothills or on desert flats, we all have the same hopes for our communities. Atlanta Oakland County We all want neighborhoods that are safe and healthy places to live and raise children. We all want nature close by—trees, gardens, parks, and wild places where we can play. We all want a say in how and where our communities grow and get better. And we all want neighbors who have more than a zip code in common with us, who will work with us to protect what we love—our homes and families. So how do we get the poisons out of our air and water, increase the clean energy choices available to us, keep a highway from being built in our backyard, and make sure industries are held responsible for their messes? By working as neighbors together, motivated by common concerns and shared values in pursuit of real-world solutions. The Sierra Club's "Building Environmental Community" campaign invites you to join us in doing just that. It's a plan to pull you in and make you an active participant, part of a community built on five core principles: Our neighborhoods should be safe, healthy, and poison-free. Working together, we can solve our problems. Everyone has a part to play. Bad actors should be held responsible. Participation is power. Our bottom line: this seems like a vision we can all agree on—protecting home and family, taking responsibility, and playing fair. Choose a community near you and see what we're doing and how you can help make a difference. Don't see your city listed above? Find out other ways to get involved.
