Dear Friends:
What a great column Sandra Cattell wrote in the March Southern Sierran, titled Our Most Precious Resource. It echoes a speech I made on behalf of the Sierra Club in 1999 before a panel of the U.S.
The annual Lobby Day takes place Sunday and Monday August 23rd and 24th. You will be part of a team that will help Sierra Club California pass our priority bills during the most exciting and challenging time of the year at the State Capitol. You will have opportunities for interaction with other activists and our professional lobbying staff, as well as with legislators and their staff.

A fond memory from my childhood is of visiting the neighborhood 'dump' with my dad to drop off whatever refuse, like old tires, we couldn't burn in our backyard incinerator.

The Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) has recently concluded a Five Year Review of the Palos Verdes Landfill.
The landfill was operational 1952-1980, covering approximately 300 acres, and includes the burial of over 47 billion pounds of hazardous wastes. The landfill accepted 40% of the hazardous wastes for the Los Angeles region.
