Global warming is a very real crisis of incredible dimensions. There is a proven connection between global warming and increased levels of greenhouse gases. Reduction of levels of CO2 and other greenhouse gases must occur as rapidly as possible.
We are a coalition of individuals and organizations dedicated to an 80% emissions reduction over the next 40 years. This reduction can be achieved through promoting energy efficiency and developing renewable energy sources.
To make the reduction a reality our group plans to:
- Publicize and garner political support for the Sierra Club’s Cool Cities initiative
- Encourage energy efficiency for homes and businesses as well as vehicle efficiency
- Encourage development of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and geothermal as alternatives to coal and nuclear.
- Educate the public about global warming, its consequences and effective responses
- Expanding the scope recycling in Central Illinois
Attending Meetings
Our group welcomes all Central Illinois citizens and organizations. We meet the first Thursday of every month from 6:30-8:30 PM at the Peoria Public Library. Until the remodeling of the downtown branch is complete, our meetings have moved to the Lakeview Branch near the corner of University and Lake Avenue.
The group was organized by David Pittman and Kiersten Sheets of the Heart of Illinois Sierra Club.
