Sierra Club honors OMNI Center for donating to WPWP and for forming Carbon Caps Task force to fight climate change

PLEASE click on image to ENLARGE.

Gladys Tiffany of the Town Branch Neighborhood is co-president of the OMNI Center for Peace, Justice and Ecology. She has worked on World Peace Wetland Prairie events, such as the annual Earth Day celebrations (coming up again on April 20, 2008, at 1121 South Duncan Avenue in the neighborhood) and is a member of the Carbon Caps Task Force working to support the Governor's Commission on Global Warming.

On Feb. 16, 2008, the Arkansas Chapter and Ozark Highlands Group of the Sierra Club named the OMNI Center for Peace, Justice and Ecology as Sierra's Arkansas environmental organization of the year.
Professor James Richard Bennett founded the OMNI Center with its wide-ranging but inseparable goals. Bennett's philosophy includes the belief that neither peace nor justice can be achieved without protecting and enhancing the earth's environment, natural resources and habitat for all living things.
