Washington State can lead the fight against global warming, but only with your help.  If we all take steps together-- in our homes and neighborhoods and at the State capitol-- we can tackle global warming.  By making smarter energy and transportation choices, we can save money, create jobs, reduce air and water pollution and improve the health of our families.  Let's seize this moment and work together as voters, community leaders, businesses and families.  Let's make Washington State a COOL state! 

 September 27th is National Green Jobs Day

Join Sierra Club friends the Moontown Foundation, White Center Community Development Authority, Puget Sound Energy and the Got Green Project for a day of conservation, service, fun and action.

On this national day of action, 200 Seattle volunteers will walk the White Center Community and knock on over 7,800 doors in an effort to educate residents on home energy efficiency and supply them with a list of "50 simple things" they can do to conserve energy, save money and reduce their carbon footprint.

Volunteers will also sign-up residents for FREE home energy efficiency assessments (valued at $500) performed by trained professionals. Click here to get involved.
