No one is going to do it for you.

Decide for yourself what the “it” is here, but the simple truth is taking care of what is important to you requires your direct action. This has always been true, perhaps never more so than now, no matter your interest. The need for local engagement is especially pressing when it comes to the environment. Federal cutbacks to environmental agencies and policies are profound and real environmental harms will result.

States and municipalities can plug important holes but lack the resources to pick up all the slack. That means it falls to us, each of us, to take actions locally to protect our land, air and water.

APCC will alert you when we see something that requires action, but a lot happens beneath our radar that you can see locally, so pay attention. Pay attention and roll up your sleeves, there is work to be done.
