In my recent television interview I mentioned a video of an advocacy group on Vashon Island in Washington State asking the question to their community…. “Would we be willing to become energy independent.” The parallels to Nantucket Island are numerous. This video provides a wonderful resource fot asking the same question to residents of Nantucket Island as well as the rest of the nation!

In-joy,

Bruce

Part Two

Here is a sampling of some of the organizations presenting at Earth Day Nantucket 2008. Many thanks to all those wonderful folks who helped make this community celebration, fun, memorable and educational.

It is critical that we as a nation upgrade to solar power now! Imagine our country moving toward energy independence with benefits so deep it will change the environmental, economic and political landscape. It crucial that we as humans evolve into the stewardship of this planet and to look after the quality of all life and species… we are the only species who can.
