The Usenet newsgroup alt.org.sierra-club is for discussing the activities of the environmentalist group. Common topics include Club-organized trips and activities, environmental protection information, talk about environmental studies, ecological research requests, environmental laws and bills, and Sierra Club Books. However, users will also find themselves amid continuous arguments both for and against the actions of the Sierra Club here, as there are many non-environmentalists who use this newsgroup as a forum for questioning the worth of the Sierra Club's efforts.
