As a candidate for Trustee on the Town of Nederland’s board, I
support creating a culture of sustainability for our great
community. I feel
Nederland
is the ideal community to play, live, work, and raise a family – its
dynamic mix of people from different backgrounds makes Nederland a unique community of talented
resources that, working together, can make our town a true utopia.
I support local options of controlled, sustainable
revitalization of our town while leading the way in eco-friendly
buildings, energy production, and waste and water treatment.
Nederland
has the unique opportunity to act as a cultural and ecological role
model for the rest of the world.
Our unique position gives our citizens the chance to create a
truly forward-thinking approach to common problems in a town our
size. We have a social
responsibility, in a sense, to turn our thinking inside-out and
approach problems with renewed vigor and creativity.
With Nederland’s unique population of artists,
musicians, scientists, educators and great thinkers, we literally
can do anything. I
believe strongly in our community’s love for all things natural and
beautiful and see that as our opportunity to create a presence of an
eco- and socially- conscious, sustainable lifestyle for our
citizens, visitors and surrounding communities.
Nederland is a beautiful place to visit or
live and should be taken care of with respect to the town, its
citizens and the environment.
We are, in effect, at a crucial turning point in our history
where the decisions we make now will affect our community for many
years to come. As
Trustee, I will do all I can to effect positive change and promote
these ideals and represent the best interest of all people in Nederland.
