Dear Mr. Allen, Hello, I’m Joanmarie Swanson and I am a part of Marin School of Environmental Leadership (MSEL) at Terra Linda High School. MSEL is a school within a school, which focuses on environmental issues and situations, as well as project-based learning and building leadership skills in students. Our class attended and listened to you speak at the sustainability debate. I support your ideas about shaping the United States.
I agree with you that we should have cleaner air and reduce our dependence of foreign oil, which is a major crisis because it is unhealthy for our land. I value that you created the Solar Sonoma County. If we had local access to renewable energy, especially in schools, then we can teach other children about our crises for renewable energy. I strongly encourage your idea of increasing the amount of money of scholarship, called the Middle School Scholarship program. I also support you in establishing funds to help farmers make the change to organic farming. In the future, I hope that everyone in their homes expands their use of compost to improve water in agriculture. Also, our society in the US should know about your idea in using grey water throughout the country.
All in all, thank you for listening for all I have to say. I strongly support your ideas and views about helping our economy. I hope you consider my thoughts on making our economy a better place.
