I decided to research the nonprofit group called the Sierra Club. Their main goal is to protect earth’s natural resources. The Sierra Club is a social welfare organization which means they are allowed to be involved in legislative lobbying and political advocacy. This means they are credible because they have more leeway than other nonprofit groups. That also means they are more reconized than other nonprofit groups. The Sierra Club has very reasonable goals in my opinion. The Sierra Club is willing to do anything if there is an efftive way to help earth’s natural resources and help stop global warming. The emotional appeal is everywhere on the Sierra Club’s website. There are a bunch of quotes and pictures everywhere. One quote by Nancy Newhall states “(We cannot) violate our parks, forests, wildernesses… to ruin for all time what all time cannot replace” (Sierra Club). The Sierra Club says that “We know actions speak louder than words. That’s why we’ve built a national community of volunteers, advocates, and grassroots activists who show up when and where it counts” (Sierra Club). That is really good to know because we know that they are getting stuff done with the money they get. It proves that they are not wasting the donations they are getting from everyone. I would love to donate to this cause because I know that my money will go towards a really good cause. All in all, I loved what I read about the Sierra Club and I want to help their cause.
