Hello Daniel,
Thank you so much for
your email and your support of Earthjustice!
Thank you also for
your insight and vigilance on these issues. We strongly encourage our
supporters to reach out to their local representatives and get active with
local environmental groups to help make change happen. In your case, I might
suggest looking into local “rails to trails” groups and the International
Council on Clean Transportation (http://www.theicct.org/). Earthjustice also focuses heavily on keeping fossil fuels in
the ground and promoting the switch to clean energy, particularly solar. You
can read more about that here: http://earthjustice.org/climate-and-energy/clean-energy. We are also working on building a more robust sustainable
farming portfolio, and one of our attorneys has a wonderful blog on the
subject, which you can read here: http://earthjustice.org/tags/fertile-grounds.
I hope this helps!
Thank you again!
Best,
Ella

Bettny,
I moved to Lakeland between Tampa and Orlando
in '02. Clearly. we must be realistic! More people, more money
and income, means more goods shipped - and what do we do?
I propose a pragmatic approach - ask your fellow Floridians to
consider the impact they are causing here. My goal is to use less resources.
I have switched from incandescent to CFL to LED, and my iPod which I use is
powered by USB.
Also, we do not even begin to look at the man
in the mirror. Let me count the ways. We eat too much meat, and
even eating meat on a regular basis uses more resources and oil than
transit. We throw away plastic without any regard it came from
petroleum. We continue to drive too much.
I propose working on promoting Amtrak,
gradual shift to electric vehicle. Also, change community so roads are
designed for not just cars, allowing bicycles and others a way to end the
madness of oil running amok.
What can I do?
