Ignore

Crucial Conversations: Tuesday, April 14 at 7pm at the Worthington Library (820 High St.)

They want to talk about "the strategies and policies needed to make a significant 'green' change."

Let's make sure they know the facts: 

1) the 'greenest' countries in the world are the wealthiest ones
2) how does a country become wealthy?  1) access to cheap energy 2) economic freedom and 3) political freedom (a respect for property rights) and stability (a respect for the rule of law).
3) the 'green' revolution isn't about saving resources and holding hands, its about controlling every aspect of your life, including how many kids you can have.
