Sierra Club members weighed-in to support clean air and clean water during the 2011 New Mexico Legislature. Club members sent 1000's of e-mails to their NM Senators and Representatives to urge them to vote for or against legislation that would have a direct impact on clean air and water. During this year's session, club members communicated about 12 bills. Of these 12 bills, 11 of those bills had outcomes supported by our members.
