REFLECTION QUESTIONEconomy & Communities Choose Clean/Renewable EnergyHow might you be able to get others involved in advocating for the clean energy shift?
Nancy Leo 4/27/2022 7:16 AMi think for me the best way to get others involved is by starting a conversation. I know my husband and I have had conversations with neighbors just giving our point of view but also listening to what they have to say. Many of our neighbors have lived in the area their whole life where we have been here for about 20 years. -
