Think globally, act locally

"If you depend on others to take action, nothing may happen or, at best, they will do it their way!"

For those concerned about the future of our environment and keeping this rock that we live on habitable, dependence on our legislators and regulators to do the right thing may not be the best approach.

We need to take action locally!  I am not talking about protests or sit-ins, but working on projects here in our little piece of paradise, showing the rest of the world what can be done by local government, such as our PUD, working with industry, other agencies and groups, to create demonstration projects, be it solar, innovative conservation programs or any other action.  Our efforts  will help assure that the environmental legacy we leave for future generations will be at least as good as what we have now.

This is the time and we are the ones to take this action.  Tomorrow night, we will know who will be elected to help set the policies, goals and objectives for our PUD and the future of our community and the kind world we will leave for our decedents.  The time I spend with my grandkids energizes me to work to protect their futures.

If you have voted, thank you!  If not yet, please do so and I would appreciate your vote.  I have the experience, the energy and the commitment to work toward making the positive changes needed for our PUD.

Remember, conserve resources, it will save you money and help assure a better future for us all.
