2008 Plains Justice Environmental Platform Planks

[Carrie La Seur]

Hello all,

Attached is a document representing all the input gathered so far in environmental caucuses conducted by Plains Justice across Iowa during December 2007.  We will continue to hold environmental caucuses even after the presidential caucus, in preparation for the county conventions in March, but we wanted to make this information available for January 3.  This is a public document intended to assist Iowa voters in shaping the state's environmental and public health agenda.  Please forward and use it as much as you like.  A "living" version will also be posted on our website that we will continue to update as more environmental caucuses take place.

The planks derive from direct input by hundreds of citizen participants in a series of nonpartisan, statewide Iowa "environmental caucuses" as the highest environmental priorities for all levels of Iowa government. The caucus series was conducted by Plains Justice, a Cedar Rapids-based environmental law center, through the generosity of the Joyce Foundation. For further information about the caucus process and development of these planks, please contact me at 319-362-2120 or cla...@plainsjustice.org. Details will also be available at www.plainsjustice.org.

Thank you so much for your interest and participation!
