i see them regularly in magazines like time.
i looked it up, and no surprise, the “we can solve it” (aka, we can solve the climate crisis) campaign was founded in 2006 by a nonprofit group founded by former vice president al gore.
the goal is to educate and mobilize citizens. more than 1 million have signed up.
no one has created a rock river valley group yet.

now that i’ve completed my week of avoiding plastic purchase, people have had two questions.
1. what’s the first plastic thing you’ve bought since?
2. are you going to keep up the blog?
the first answer: i haven’t bought anything yet, though i suspect it will be milk. also on my grocery list? lemon juice, ketchup and red wine vinegar. couldn’t buy those sunday.
the second answer: yes, it’s my goal to keep “go green” going with a broad theme of environmentally friendly notes and advice. i welcome community folks who want to contribute (e-mail me at jpollock@rrstar.com).
thanks for all of your suggestions so far.
