The Environment

I love nature and would consider myself to be an environmentalist. Part of what I love most about living in Van Ness is the urban access and community and our easy access to nature in Rock Creek Park. I think we need to take action individually and collectively to protect our ecosystems. As ANC Commissioner, I will encourage community members to organize trash pickup days, trail/stream cleanup days and tree planting in coordination with DC Parks and NPS. I will encourage neighbors to use mass transit more frequently. I will support local measures that appear to have a positive impact on the environment in ways of reducing pollution and litter, improving density, bike improvements and transit access. The local community cannot do it all. We need an energy revolution among many other things.
