Greener at the Grassroots

Interesting article in the latest edition of Governing Magazine (Yes, I said interesting...Well, maybe I am a policy geek. I said maybe.). Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, an article talking about all of the fighting over emissions targets, cap & trade, etc at the national level while companies and local entities are getting after the business of reducing carbon.

The article cites a University of Delaware professor that says "A majority of states and countless cities and towns have taken steps to confront the problem of global warming." It even references the contrast between the US Chamber of Commerce which is adamantly opposed to Cap & Trade and local chambers who are doing something about it. See my earlier entry on the Fayetteville Chamber's GreeNWAy program.
