Get out and VOTE!

Annie Leonard, founder of  The Story of Stuff Project, writes about the importance of voting, especially in the midterm elections where participation is disturbingly low.

I Voted the Environment

by Yvon Chouinard

Now that the election is over, our work continues. I support the front-line activists, the river keepers and tree sitters who work to save a single patch of land or stretch of water. Today in the United States, small groups of kayakers and fishermen work tirelessly to bring down dams; duck hunters toil to preserve wetlands. And it’s mothers who exert the most pressure to clean up local toxic landfills. Activism never dies. Keep up the good work.
