OUR WORK ON LOCAL AND REGIONAL ISSUES











  The Sierra Club is the nation's largest grassroots environmental organization, supported by the efforts of our members and volunteer activist leaders. We hold meetings and events throughout Massachusetts focusing on conservation issues, political activities, and the business operations of the chapter and our local groups. New to the Sierra Club and want to join or learn more? Join us at any of our meetings or events! All events are free and open to all Sierra Club members unless otherwise noted.

Sprawl and Transportation

Recycling and Municipal Solid Waste

  • Zero Waste - A design principle and planning approach for the environmental management of resources. It aims to prevent waste by design rather than manage it after the fact. The Sierra Club's Zero Waste policy addresses not only the quantity of waste we generate, but also its toxicity, its contribution to climate change, and the important links between waste reduction and corporate responsibility.
  • Bottle Bill Update - We're working to extend our state's most effective recycling program to inlcude water, sports drinks, flavored teas, and other on-the-go beverages.

Public Lands and Open Space

Marine and Coastal Habitat

Legislative Action

As the federal government retreats further every day from our nation's environmental laws, actions at the state and local level are increasingly important to protect the health and safety of our families. Visit our Legislative Action home page to learn more about the issues we are working on in the state house.
