The great thing about the Bulletin is that it gives direction and hope for solutions to difficult problems. The depressing thing about the Bulletin is that it describes difficult problems which many people don't understand or don't believe will or can change. As a planning commissioner I know how hard it is to convince even fellow commissioners. Being an optimist I've enclosed a couple pamphlets for you from Republicans for Environmental Protection-America. I'm the treasurer of the Michigan chapter.
Conservation seems first nature to even the most conservative people.
REP-America hopes to guide, inform, and translate the desire to preserve nature in all its forms to Republican legislators who too often don't get it. I'm particularly interested in land use. I want REP-America to make it perhaps their top agenda item. Since we are not environmental professionals the Michigan chapter will be pointing to people and groups who provide solutions and insist our politicians follow with action. We will be taking local positions.
