Energy Committee
We all use energy every day at home, work, and everywhere in between. And all that energy consumption has a huge impact on our local and global environment. The Cascade Chapter Energy Committee educates Sierra Club members, policy makers, and Washington residents about energy issues and how we can all take steps to reduce our environmental footprint by making smarter choices in how we buy and use energy. We do this a variety of ways:
- Educating and engaging people in the discussion over energy use, the environment, and global climate change.
- Finding and promoting new options for conservation and clean energy.
- Supporting environmentally responsible energy policy at the local, state and national level.
- Working with government agencies, utilities, and other organizations to promote sustainable energy practices.

Frustrated by inaction at the federal level, several western U.S. States and Canadian Provinces have formed the Western Climate Initiative with the goal of reducing regional greenhouse has emissions to 15% below 2005 levels by 2020.
