Sierra Club member Gary Kowalski is organizing a series of gatherings to press for a boycott of Phillips/Conoco and their relationship to the DAPL (Dakota Access Pipeline).
“Phillips is one of the biggest investors in the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the 5th is the date when demonstrators have been warned to vacate their camp and relocate to “free-speech zones” or face criminal charges, in addition to the water cannons, rubber bullets, attack dogs and concussion grenades they have already endured,” Kowalski said. “Enough is enough! We want motorists to stop buying from Phillips/Conoco as a way of saying no to police brutality, no to trampling on indigenous rights, no to fracking for America’s energy future. Send a message at the ...

Update: The commission voted unanimously in favor of the resolution! Thanks to everyone who wrote their commissioners and/or attended the meeting.
The Santa Fe County Commission will be meeting on Tues, Nov. 29, to consider a resolution directing county staff to advocate for trap-free federal lands within the county.
Please attend this meeting to voice your support!
The resolution means that county personnel could lobby the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and elected state and federal officials to prohibit the use of steel-jawed leg-hold traps and wire cable snares on these lands.
It is currently legal for traps to be hidden on public lands where we all recreate. Trappers seek to capture and kill wildlife like bobcats and ...

Seamster is chair of the Northern New Mexico Group.
What is your role with Sierra Club?
The chair of our group has many responsibilities: running monthly excom meetings, keeping members informed of group activities, submitting comments and writing letters of support on a wide spectrum of city-county-regional issues, attending coalition meetings, arranging volunteer activities and public outreach such as outings, tabling, and presenting at public events such as the recent “Co-Existence with Carnivores” panel. We also have published a hiking book, and I arrange for book shipments from the publisher and work with groups such as Taos Water Sentinels and Dr. Eric Metzler to award proceeds from the book sales to their water-monitoring and pollinator research in ...

There is not much to top spending a day in the late-summer sunshine, wading and checking the waters of some of our northern rivers.
Eric and Nora Patterson are the linchpins of the Taos Water Sentinels. Skilled at all aspects of sampling and monitoring water quality, they keep records on the rivers of Northern New Mexico, train volunteer monitors, team up with Amigos Bravos and Taos High School students to provide vital water measurements for lab analysis and send results to the state Environment Department.
Our state is strapped for funding when it comes to monitoring our many streams and rivers. The Pattersons have secured their reputation with the state with their reliable data ...
Chaco Culture National Historical Park is Northwest New Mexico’s San Juan Basin, where there are over 56,000 oil and gas wells and processing plants. Last month, NASA released a report that identified natural gas waste and methane pollution as major contributors to the methane cloud hovering over the Four Corners.
Now, the BLM is planning to lease 843 more acres of land in the Greater Chaco area to oil and gas developers at a Jan. 18 auction.
The BLM’s Farmington Field office has approved more than 360 new wells that use horizontal drilling in the Greater Chaco area under its outdated 2003 Resource Management Plan. The BLM admits it has yet to analyze the impacts of the fracking it’s permitting. Let’s demand that ...
