L.E.A.D. 2008 Writing and Poster Competition

I wanted to call this first post, "Lead, Follow or Get Out of the Tar Creek Superfund Site" but then I realized nobody would figure out what this posting is about. For the many of you that are working to make our world a better place through your environmental work and to everyone else that would like to learn more about how to do the same, we hope you will write your thoughts, ideas and concerns about the environment.

Thoughts on LEAD's progress:

Like the old story comparing God's plan to the top of a beautiful tapestry and our experiences to the reverse side, where threads are interwoven but not as clear or beautiful. . . environmental change seems elusive and frustratingly slow but it is happening. . .I just hope it is happening fast enough to save our planet. Rebecca reminds us we still need time to relax and have fun, too. Speaking of fun, I had better close so that I can do my statistics homework or Rebecca will be scolding me for working too long on the blog!
