Sierra Club Launches Oil Spill Action Center

The Sierra Club has created an online action center to to keep people informed about the oil spill in the gulf of Mexico last month. The site offers the latest news and updates on the spill as well as offering people ways to volunteer.

The Sierra Club is calling for President Obama to stop all new drilling off America’s coasts immediately and permanently, stating:

This dirty and dangerous practice has no place in a 21st century energy economy. Instead of risking our lives, our coasts, our clean air, and our security by perpetuating our addiction to oil, it’s time to build a clean energy economy that means more jobs, less pollution, and real energy independence.
