How's it going? I'm a single person who freezes in the dark to save energy--an old westerner who's been worried about the environment for 60-years, so in my daily activities, nothing's changed much. What I AM excited about are the kids and their efforts. At the High School we have the EcoClub working on the County imposing a bag-fee on single-use-plastic shopping bags. This is something we adults tried to do five years ago, but had no leadership from our elected officials (as the complainers said and are still threatening the kids about: "It's government overreach--you take away our bags, you'll take our guns next"). These kids are brave to go after it again. At the Middle School, the 7th grade (with their spectacular science-teacher sponsor!) is working to design, and then get a grant to, transform a giant gravel space into a wildlife habitat as well as an outdoor "classroom" space. The younger ones value wildlife and want to make a space for them. The older ones are working on policy to protect that wildlife's continued existence.
