### Alt-Sierra Club Mission Statement
To explore, enjoy, and protect the wild places of the earth;
To practice and promote the responsible use of the earth's ecosystems and resources;
To educate and enlist humanity to protect and restore the quality of the natural and human environment and to use all lawful means to carry out these objectives.
We encourage our members to join the Sierra Club and support the Loma Prieta Chapter,
which is responsible for local outings, conservation, environmental education,
leadership development and political activism.
