Talk:Sierra Club
From Academic Kids
The previous version singled out one among many Sierra Club policies (restore Hetch Hetchy) and mentioned one of the reasons to oppose that policy (San Francisco need for drinking water). My reaction as a first-time visitor was that it violated NPOV. I expanded the discussion of the policy to show that SC isn't indifferent to SF drinking water. Reference to dams "in California" deleted because SC has opposed dams across the country. I also added a sentence re SC governance. JamesMLane 21:34, 13 Jan 2004 (UTC)
It should be noted that john muir was a preservationist, not a conservationist. A good parrallel between the two would be free software and open source. Here is a comparison between the two: http://greennature.com/article467.html.
Okay well since no one else seems to want to fix it i will
- The distinction as you draw it is not commonly accepted. Muir is often referred to as a preservationist but is even more often referred to as a conservationist. I'm restoring "conservationist" but I'll leave in "preservationist" because it's not inaccurate. JamesMLane 19:19, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Should the article mention the Sierra Club's loss of its tax exempt status for engaging in political activity in 1966? --Blackeagle 17:34, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Certainly. The article should have more history material. Cheers, -Willmcw 03:57, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)
