Hi Ya’ll,
Gathering at Greenvale is a great idea, but carry your embrella.
Our “commercial cap” took how many months? While the success
of Preserve Portsmouth with the help of many folks is commendabel,
just think if we took the initiative to do something constructive, like
a park, green zoning, a sewer system with reverse osmosis to remove
pharmaceuticals, pesticides, heavy metals, and nutrients from entering
the bay?
How about lining all our streets with trees? How about a protected
bicycle path across the island constructed along the bicycle routes? How about promoting organic farming so we can support our local populations during the seasons at least? How about using Blithewold as a model for
advancing our canopy and natural auras?
My notion is, why quit now. While I recognize the burden for working families and single mothers, we need to get help from deep pockets
using our success record as our credentials?
I know, fund raising is one heck of a job, but then we are investing in
the future of our children – what else is there?
Cordially,
Werner
