Happy Earth Day!

Today is the 38th annual celebration of the planet we call home, and a day to step back and think about things we can do to preserve and restore our natural resources…

So that’s the official line on Earth Day, but I want to know: what do YOU think about Earth Day?

Is it a time to reflect on accomplishments?

A time to call for more action?

Or something in-between?

Send a post, let us know, then go outside and do something good for the planet.

West Chester Twp. to take conservation, efficiency steps

I’m working on a story this week about West Chester Twp’s plan to boost its conservation and make more efficient use of natural resources. The township administrator is working on the plan, and I expect to talk with her and other officials about the goal of this program.

Many of the steps the township is planning are less technological than behavioral, such as planning non-emergency trips to allow car pooling or combining trips. Suggestions also include limiting vehicle idling and eventually incorporating more efficient vehicles into the township fleet.

What do you think the township could do to use energy more efficiently? The resources the township is trying to conserve are purchased with residents’ tax money, after all. If Share your thoughts here; maybe you’ll come up with a new idea that will save township taxpayers a few dollars.

Talk about a sure-fire way to make friends.
