Sierra Club California has been a leader in removing poisonous materials from consumer products and keeping hazardous wastes out of local garbage landfills. We are currently working with the Department of Toxic Substances Control and the Integrated Waste Management Board on policies that will prevent pollution at the source, rather  than merely trying to clean up contamination after it has occurred. We also push our environmental agencies to vigorously enforce safeguards that are already on the books.
