How do you join environmental clubs, such as Greenpeace?

Well, I just looked in my phone book and found a number for Greenpeace.  Check 
your book for a local chapter, if your city has one.  If not, you can probably 
find out much about environmental groups by reading their magazines in your 
public library or school library.  The Sierra Club publishes a monthly 
magazine called "Sierra" that lists many environmental groups in its 
classified advertisements.  In general you may join these groups simply by 
sending them a donation, which will probably get you a subscription to their 
magazine or newsletter.  Another place to look is in your newspaper's job 
listings, because Greenpeace often hires people to go door-to-door for 
donations, signatures on petitions, and public education about environmental 
issues.
