Mary Wood has been appointed by the Executive Committee to fill out the remaining year of a term vacated by a resignation.
Mary said: "I'm excited and honored to be chosen to be on Board of Sierra Club.
Sierra is an organization of advocacy, being the voice for those who can not speak for themselves, our waterways, air and natural areas across the nation. There are problems within our state that need to be brought to the attention of our state residents and legislators. Through my past and present advocacy experience, I hope I will be an asset in the communications of Sierras' campaigns and programs to expand Sierras influence in the state.  For the past 5 years, I've been focused on litter in our water through two main activities:
2009 to 2013 -Plastic Pollution Texas
Worked to establish deposits legislation for beverage containers in 2 session of the state legislature
2013 to present -Texan for Clean Water
Working on bring the awareness of litter to our state legislature and Texas residents through a comprehensive study of litter, from roadside to illegal dumping. What are the cost and consequences of litter."
