Lake & Prairie & Pavley
The third quarter issue of the Illinois Sierra Club's newsletter, Lake & Prairie, was published recently. It includes a short article I wrote which overviews the drive for Illinois to adopt the California Pavley clean car standards, plus an article about the campaign's first clean car wash.
You can find the newsletter at the Illinois Chapter website or download the pdf directly here.
I found a good interview in the Sacramento Bee with the namesake of the California standards, Fran Pavley.
"...it's not a choice between the environment and the economy. Business leaders, progressive ones worried about the 21st century and the impact of not doing anything -- they're on board.She also talks about revelations that the Bush administration is working closely with car manufacturers to lobby against states adopting the improved standards.Why the federal government continues to drag its feet is amazing to me. We see this as a wonderful business opportunity."

This is a superb blog, Will. Thanks for the stuff about Hunter Lake. I am a member of Citizens for Sensible Water Use. Please tell folks about our event "The Hunter Dam Controversy" at Lincoln Library, 7:00 PM Monday October 8 - a superb power point show moderated by myself, with presentations from Dr. Bruce Semans and Professor Clark Bullard.
