Legislation & Other Actions

Although the Indiana General Assembly is returning to focus on the yet-to-be completed state budget, here is a report on environmental and energy matters from our perspective for the primary session this year. If the special session produces further debates on these issues, we'll let you know either on these pages or by email.

Yellowstone Wolf Pack Killed
Yellowstone National Park's famous Cottonwood Pack has just been destroyed - all the adult wolves have been killed, and the surviving pups will likely die without the rest of their wolf family. The Interior Department and Secretary Salazar should reinstate vital protections for wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the northern Rockies. We must protect the future of these magnificent animals.

ACES
Action on ACES or the American Clean Energy and Security Act (H.R. 2454) has moved to the U.S. Senate after being approved by the House of Representatives. Congress needs to hear from you on the importance of climate change legislation.

America's Red Rock Wilderness Act
The largest network of unprotected wild land outside of Alaska is in southern Utah. Unfortunately this spectacular landscape is threatened by oil and gas drilling, and rampant abuse by off-road-vehicles. Join the Sierra Club in working to have this area permanently protected.
