48 Hills, the San Francisco online news source, recently ran this article by Berkeley journalist Zelda Bronstein which East Bay Sierra Club members should check out:

After the article was posted, the Sierra Club’s San Francisco Bay Chapter posted an entry on its home page blog attacking it. The response from 48 Hills is posted here.
