What You Can Do

Elected officials, from the Governor’s office to local city councils, make policy decisions every day that affect our quality of life. These public figures shape how we travel to work or school, what our community looks like, and how clean our drinking water is.  When we vote, we make our voice heard.  Here are four easy ways for you to get engaged and take action now:

1.  Register to Vote

As voters, we make a powerful statement about what we think our community should look like every time we fill out our ballot.  The easiest, most effective way you can make a difference for the environment is registering to vote – and voting in every election.

2.  Get Informed

Learn about the issues on your ballot by visiting your County Auditor's website and reading your local voter guide pamphlet.

3.  Pledge to Vote in 2011

Voting in every election is one of the most important ways for your voice to be heard.  Sign our pledge to vote in the August 16th Primary Election and the November 8th General Election.

When you are done, forward the link to your friends and ask them to pledge to vote for our community, the environment, and our economic future.

3.  Support our Work
