Click here for news archives | What We're Doing We have a couple of new initiatives lined up for the summer. First, if you are the owner of an environmentally friendly business, we will be rolling out a marketplace section of the site that will allow you to advertise your products or services free of charge. Second, we are interested in the stories of people who are taking an initiative to do something good for the environment. No matter how small, we would like for you to tell your stories. ***** With news that Bradford Beach in Milwaukee will be staffed by lifeguards this year, our discussion essay turns to the question of why anyone would want to swim at Bradford Beach. If there is a metaphor for the inattention to pollution in Milwaukee, perhaps nothing is more fitting than the sewage that befouls our lakefront seemingly every Spring. Check out contributor AFSpillane's essay here. For a nice article summarizing recent efforts to address stormwater runoff, see this report by WUWM here. ***** Don't know how the Presidential Candidates feel about the Environment? Check it out on the Presidential Candidates page, find out the candidate's environmental record, start a thread, or add more information! While you're there, check out all of the other elected officials that have been profiled. Can't find who you are looking for? Find out how to add your Wisconsin politician on our page! ***** Are you worried about wildlife habitats? Check out our conservation of wildlife and habitats page. If you know something about this issue, consider collaborating to improve the information. If you have something to say about this issue, comment in the discussion thread at the bottom of the page. While you're there, check out all of the other issues that we are following. ***** How Does This Website Work? Greenvoting is sort of a hybrid between Wikipedia and Craigslist. We are a resource of information on issues related to the environment (with a focus on Wisconsin), but our information is primarily user-generated. We are also a community resource, and we invite individuals and organizations to contribute to our site, edit (yes!) our pages, and collaborate with other individuals and organizations. We are utilizing an innovative web service provided by a company called Wetpaint, which allows users to edit web pages without any special training. It's as easy as word processing! |
