Thanks for Eight Years !

Posted on March 17, 2016 by Al Bergstein

I’ve just passed the eighth year of publishing the Olympic Peninsula Environmental News. The original goal was to share the influx of emails I was getting on environmental issues related to the Olympic Peninsula, and to make it easy to find who was doing what here, related to environmental restoration, protection and political action. It’s been worth hearing from many of you, and look forward to continuing it. The challenges have changed and new issues have come to the forefront, including Ocean Acidification, and new threats to our efforts in the political realm. For instance, we have never had a serious contender for the President of the US, that, without outside advisors, has threatened to eliminate the EPA. What would that look like? Look at Flint, Michigan. 

I will continue to share the news, events and issues with you. Thanks for your time and interest.

With gratitude.

    Al, It has been a lovely way for me to keep up on the environmental news, even crises, of the Salish Sea. You maintain a culture of needed knowledge, a higher baseline, that leads to better stewardship. Thanks. Pat Pressentin
