Global Warming: Drought in Kenya

Contact Arkansas Legislators about Warming

We must reach out more to those who make the laws we would change or would create. We already have an excellent plan for this, created several years ago for CCTF in support of the Governor’s Commission on Climate Change. It is called “PLANetwork,” and it is the brainchild of Gladys and other members of CCTF, who also made an excellent brochure for the project They wrote: “PLANetwork—People’s Legislative Alert Network—is people who care about Arkansas and the environment. In 2009 they [will ask] their Arkansas legislators to support good environmental bills and reject those that aren’t.” Educating Arkansas legislators, persuading them, pushing them to act against the causes of global warming. There's good hope and wisdom in this project. Contact Joanna Pollock to help. "Joanna Pollock"
