Mission Statement

"Empowering Gwinnett citizens to build sustainable communities"

The Greater Gwinnett Group's goals are to:

  • Get all Gwinnett cities to sign on to the Cool Cities Initiative
  • Protect the quality of Gwinnett's streams, lakes and rivers
  • Be an active voice in Gwinnett's electoral and legislative process
  • Educate and empower Gwinnett citizens to become a voice for zoning and development of livable communities
  • Reduce the amount of solid waste disposed by Gwinnett residents
  • Create a space for social events for Gwinnett Sierra Club members and their friends, families and neighbors; and
  • Increase membership and the diversity of our members in the Greater Gwinnett Group of the Sierra Club.

How we do it:

  • Have monthly meetings for socializing, sharing personal environmental interests and concerns, and to learn about environmental issues.
  • Have monthly social events and Outings to explore different parts of the county, meet other members and enjoy our green space.
  • Conservation focus areas:
    • Educate others about the problems of invasive exotic species, by hosting a privet pull or other event to eradicate invasives each month
    • Educate others about the issues of urban stream quality by hosting several stream cleanups each year
    • Educate voters about the environmental positions of the candidates for county commissioner
