The Sierra Club shares some special places to explore, enjoy and protect. "Sit under a tree, look at a brook, lake, river or ocean. Do something you enjoy. Whenever possible, take a few minutes to look out the window at the sunshine and the flowers. Remember that you are still free and that there is still beauty in the world." from the Red Cross Where would you like to find a special place? Pick a state from this list...
