« "Poetry in Motion" | Main | Memphis Catholic Schools receive $30 mil donation » January 8, 2006Green LiteBy Donna Locke That story reminds me of a letter to the editor I sent to Sierra Club Magazine in November 2004. The Sierra Club used to talk about overpopulation and massive immigration as threats to the environment. Well, no more. Not for a long time. Here's an excerpt from my letter: "I read your magazine's article 'A Tale of Two Immigrants' online and was struck once again by the illogic of efforts like yours to discount population numbers, and particularly unchecked immigration, as a major factor in environmental degradation and destruction. I wonder how much of that illogic is powered by the desires of the Sierra Club's big-money donors. For that kind of green - like the $100 million the Sierra Club reportedly got from D**** G****** on condition that immigration never be counted as a negative - would I don blinders, too? No." I don't think that magazine ever published my letter. I don't know why that didn't surprise me. The Sierra piece profiles my friend Yeh Ling-Ling, executive director of Diversity Alliance for a Sustainable America. Tennesseans for Immigration Control and Reform is a member of DASA.
