The Sierra Club Northeast Regional Committee (NERC) is based on commonalities of interests within our geographic region. These include: energy use, transportation, forest lands, sprawl, coastal and many other concerns. NERC is composed of the six New England states, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, plus Quebec and Atlantic Canada Chapters. Our purpose is to prepare environmentalists, major decision-makers and the public in the region to act on the serious problems of pollution, climate change, and waste associated with existing energy production and utilization. Our goal is to speed adoption of measures to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and nuclear power that threaten the well-being of the planet.
