Global Population and Environment
Take Action!

  • Contact our Campus Organizer! We will come to your campus and deliver an interactive "Reproductive Health and the Environment" presentation, or apply to attend our National Training in Washington D.C., the One Voice Summit, to learn the necessary information and skills to advance global reproductive health and sustainable development solutions.
  • Check out our Resources! We will provide you with everything you need to feel comfortable as an effective messenger for the global health, population and environment issues you care about.

  • Be an advocate! Support policies and programs that provide voluntary family planning and comprehensive sex education to young people here and abroad.

  • Exercise your voice! Speak out in support of the Millennium Development Goals to alleviate poverty and ensure a more sustainable environmental future.

  • Host a Green-Pink Party! Unite two movements, help change a life, and have fun protecting our environment and empowering women worldwide.

  • Join the Campus Climate Challenge! Become part of the nation's largest student-led environmental group, the Sierra Student Coalition and join the Campus Climate Challenge to stop global warming and lead our society to a clean energy future.

  • Get involved! Subscribe to our monthly e- newsletter to stay updated on global population and environment issues.

  • Curb your consumption! Calculate your eco-footprint and learn how the simple choices you make every day can change the world. Ways for you to get started today:

    • Drive Smart! Support the use of more fuel efficient cars and trucks. Better yet, skip the drive and take public transit, walk, or bicycle when you can.

    • Change your bulbs! Buy energy-efficient appliances and compact-fluorescent light bulbs.

    • Buy Locally! Support your farmer's market to reduce the burning of fossil fuels for production and transport, and boost the local economy.

    • Waste Not, Want Not! Install low-flow showerheads and faucets and you'll use half the water without decreasing performance.

    • Buy fair trade products! Support sustainable worker and environmental practices.

    • For more information: Check out Sierra Club's sustainable consumption web site.
