 As elected officials we must do our part to protect the environment. It’s past the time to debate whether climate change is occurring. It’s time to act.  As elected officials we need to develop programs to change our practices to reduce the activities that have a negative impact on our local community and to increase practices that have a position impact. We can make a difference.
