The way it works is simple.
Join the Network and you'll begin receiving a monthly newsletter with summaries and links to new success stories. So, you'll receive inspirational and informative stories about what others in Lafayette are doing to live more sustainably and reduce global warming.
The United States is the top global warming polluter in the World (25% of all emissions) and affluent communities like Lafayette are the greatest contributors within the United States. So, we have a special responsibility to use our ingenuity and resources to do our part. Solutions implemented anywhere affect people everywhere. Lafayette can lead the way!

feel free to post it.
