Our State Assembly Member, Mark Stone, delved into legislation and State regulations relating to plastics pollution, water issues, and energy at the 18th Annual Environmental Town Hall. The audience was deeply engaged and had so many questions that the program, presented last Saturday at Felton Community Hall, ran overtime. Along with Mark’s discussions, there were representatives providing information and literature from the County Vector Control District, Resource Conservation District, Sierra Club, the VWC’s Restoration Project and the VWC’s Environmental Committee for the SLV (that puts on the event). Additional information was provided by the Monterey Bay Community Power (soon to replace PG&E as our power source), and from Coastal Watershed Council. (Check out the websites of these organizations for information about their activities and offerings.)
We are very grateful to Mark for his willingness to attend this annual event, and for his openness about how the system works, and for providing what he called the “long” explanation — trusting that his audience was both interested and willing to listen to the more detailed information.
