I know that I have not been great at keeping up with my blog... I haven't been good at all. I want to try to start posting again and talking about things that we can all do in order to help to reduce our carbon footprints.
With that being said, the new thing that I have pledged to do is to e-mail the president, my senators, my alderman, and the mayor every week to talk about either what they are doing well to help the environment or give ideas about things that they should be pushing for. I urge you all to do the same. The more of us who tell them that environmental initiatives are important, the more likely that it will become a bigger issue in politics. If you are interested, here are some links so that you can send messages. Send them often!
President Obama:

I still have not found the e-mail address for Mayor Emanuel or his office... If you have his or any additional people to contact, let us know so that we can make sure that the politicians we vote for know what is important to us: protecting the environment!
