>
> This is a group email to a large number of you that are involved in
> "green"
> and "environmental" discussions in the region.
>
> My name is Tim Rudkins and I am involved with the Green Party here in
> Richmond Hill. In a recent meeting, the idea was raised of creating a
> "York
> Region Green Movement or Association."
>
> The problem that was recognized was that there are numerous
> individuals and
> groups that are working on many items, but often alone and/or only on
> one
> focus. Therefore, they can be easily ignored by the government/public
> and/or do not receive the attention that they should.
>
> This movement or association is not to be linked directly to the Green
> Party
> , but instead to coordinate and consolidate the various "green" or
> "environmental" issue groups/individuals under one umbrella with the
> aim of
> achieving the following:
>
> - Increase visibility of the entire spectrum of green and environmental
> issues in the region
> - Increase the power of the movement through coordination and working
> together
> - Push for real, viable changes in various government and public
> policies
> and practices
> - Increase solidarity among the various groups through joint events,
> meetings, discussion groups, etc.
>
> The idea is not to restrict what people are currently doing, but to
> bolster
> it all through concepts such as a web site portal for all issues and
> education; combined fund raising for events as well as legal
> challenges;
> etc. In short, reinforce what everyone is doing and have it grow.
>
> If you think this is a good idea, have comments, want more
> information, etc.
> Please let me know. It might be the start of a very good thing for the
> region and the people living in it.

> Cheers
