The Pennsylvania Chapter is BUSY this Earth Month: Find out where to find us!
Earth Month is filled with opportunities to get out and enjoy the great outdoors, connect with environmental groups at tabling events and volunteer to make the world a better place. There are festivals across the state, reminding us that we only have one planet that we call home and we have to do our part to keep it healthy. This year for Earth Month take the time to get out and speak with fellow volunteers of the Sierra Club by joining us at an Earth Month event.
