Sierra, Nov-Dec, 2003

"If everybody in the Sierra Club had their way about it we'd still be using outhouses."

--Gulfport, Mississippi, city councilor Billy Hewes on the Biloxi-Gulfport WLOX evening news, June 3, 2003. (The Sierra Club is fighting a development that would fill 350 acres of wetlands and increase flood risks. Proponents say it will provide tax revenue to upgrade the city's sewer infrastructure.)

"[Car dealer Harold] Schoeffler can make you a great deal on a new Seville, in a state where Cadillac is still king, but he's got another, surprising side. He's chairman of the local chapter of the Sierra Club and one of the most dogged environmentalists in Louisiana."

--Outside, August 2003

"After being transported across major highways and metropolitan areas, [nuclear] waste would then he crammed in fault-line-ridden Yucca Mountain. Practically no one wants that, but who's doing anything about it? The Sierra Club is, along with other environmental organizations."

--Los Vegas CityLife, July 30, 2003
