Gov. Jim Doyle's task force on global climate change is holding four listening sessions statewide from 4-7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 19th.
The schedule is here.
There certainly are issues of common resource conservation, access and protection in Wisconsin and the Milwaukee area on which task force members could focus with a strong assist from the public:
Adopting the Great Lakes Compact.
Promoting transit.
Reducing air pollution.
Pushing efficient, alternative energy sources, such as non-corn ethanol, wind, wave and solar power.
Coordinated, pro-cities strategies' that link all the above, from Smart Growth to to in-fill to urban agriculture.
You can bet that the Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce has had its lobbyists pushing on many of these issues, but from the opposite perspective.
