My Goals

My personal environmental action plan will start with this blog –

I will continue to report on pertinent local issues with my lovable senior dog Luna (who has had her own AARD card for some time now)  – and I am sure she will offer her insight now and again. 

I will also share some suggestions for ways we can all contribute to not only protect the natural world around us but also the seniors in our community
