Apply yourself.

The following note was forwarded to the EcoAction Committee email list today. It makes such a good point that I had to share it.

Subject: [greens] 3 Greens appointed to Energy & Environment Board

In Oshkosh, where the Mayor recently signed onto the Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, the Mayor also has reinstated a long dormant citizen board called the Energy and Environment Advisory Board. Of the eight citizens and one councilor just appointed to this board, three of them are Green Party members: Justin Mitchell (co-chair, LWGP), Bob Poeschl (former co-chair, WIGP), and myself (co-chair, WIGP). Also named to the board were Steve Barney and Dani Stolley, both active with the Oshkosh Earth Charter.

How did three Greens get appointed to a board like this? We simply applied.

Apply yourselves locally, help change the world.

I am certain that Roger Gray would appreciate this, as he is in a similar position in Pasadena.
