ATTENTION SIERRA CLUB MEMBERS!

NPG recommends Alan Kuper to be elected to the Board of The Sierra Club.

Alan Kuper, Ph.D, a physicist known as "Mr. Sierra Club" in Cleveland is retired from research and teaching (Bell Laboratories, Case Western Reserve Univ.) He joined the Club and became an active leader in 1973. He and his wife are Life Members, devoted to the Club. He has numerous environmental awards including two national Sierra Club awards. Beginning in 1990, Kuper organized population-environment committees in all seven Groups of the Ohio Sierra Club Chapter. He served on the Club's Population Committee from 1992-96. He is a long-time NPG member, well known for his advocacy of NPG goals. In 2000 he founded CUSP-Comprehensive (approach to) U.S. Sustainable Population to recognize the threat to the U.S. and global environment of runaway U.S. population growth and to deal with it comprehensively, i.e. growth from net natural increase but also net immigration, an approach that contrasts with that of the major environmental organizations which all maintain a conspiracy of silence on the subject of immigration.

We recommend Alan as one whose extensive Club experience will strengthen the Board. Also, we hope that he will be able to persuade the Board to implement its population policies, including most recently "The Sierra Club advocates reductions in the population of the United States and the world." (2003) and to lead the environmental movement in this.

We encourage you to sign the attached petition and return it to The Sierra Club offices using the information provided on the bottom of the form.
