what have you missed in the last week?

i’ve noticed at least three “green” stories that affect the rock river valley in the last week:

1. rockton’s push to protect the environment through its practices.

2. cherry valley fire protection district’s initiative to install energy-efficient light bulbs.

3. a new law requiring illinois elementary and secondary schools to use green cleaners.

 all of these efforts are government-backed, not just personal efforts or choices.

p.s. still haven’t bought any plastic this week…. but i’m running low on juice. and i’m tired of eating toast instead of cereal for breakfast.
