Sierra Youth Coalition

The Sierra Youth Coalition U of A APIRG Working Group encourages awareness and action on environmental issues through lobbying and consciousness-raising on the University campus and the greater Edmonton community. Our mandate is to seek coalitions amongst other groups with similar mandates to assert our collective voice to move us on a path of greater ecological and social sustainability.

Goals:

We will provide a voice for APIRG and ECOs working groups, with focuses on social and environmental issues, within the public sphere and in the media by letter writing in various media outlets and directly to politicians and decision-makers.

We will campaign to educate students, staff and faculty about signing the Talloires declaration.

We will produce "The Ecological and Social Responsibility Guide" that will include input from other groups such as Just Java. This will provide a guide for individuals to learn about what they can do to improve the planet.
