A little background: the Club's Conservation Initiatives are general environmental issues ("Safe and Healthy Communities," "America's Wild Legacy," and "Smart Energy Solutions") which were given priority by Sierra Club members from all over the country at

Climate Action Network (CAN), which is the alliance within which many, most or all of the world’s environmental non governmental organizations (ENGO’s) are working, had a planning meeting at the National Library that lasted long after

Bob COP 11 Dispatch No. 2Bob Morris, Montreal, Dec. 3, 2005 Maybe it was the nasty cold that has been gaining ground, or the rain/sleet/snow, or the legion of security officers looking every inch lie the Secret Service people I left behind in D.
