Safe Passage Endorsement

Project Safe Passage Great Lakes has received the endorsement of both the Southeast Michigan Group and the State Chapter of the Sierra Club. They noted in their decision that Safe Passage complements their efforts on behalf of the Sierra Club's Cool Cities Program, which exemplifies the concept of Think Globally, Act Locally. The Cool Cities program is an effort to address the problem of global warming one city at a time. Local committees are working to urge their cities to :

1. Join the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement to reduce global warming pollution.(At this writing, 358 mayors representing 55 million people have signed the agreement.)

2. Green their city's vehicle fleets with hybrid and other cleaner cars.

3. Modernize city buildings with money-saving energy efficiency technology.

4. Invest in clean and safe renewable energy.

Detroit Audubon and Michigan Audubon welcome the support of the Sierra Club in our efforts to make cities safer for the night migrating birds who pass over them every spring and fall.
