It’s vital to be green

Fri., May 8, 2009

The Spokesman-Review

I grew up in the Inland Northwest and have spent most of my life here. I have seen too many people move here from other, less green areas who immediately want all the things they left.

So, climate change aside, we owe our kids and grandkids a change in the way we do things. However that gets done, it has to get done. Go for it, Mayor Verner.
