A petition you can sign online…

When one is sitting halfway around the world, what’s happening in one’s city sometimes takes on a distant, unreal quality and one tends to read emails with some amount of detachment…but the way our government is hell-bent on converting all our green spaces into buildings or roads jolts me out of the apathy.

Thank you…let’s hope better sense prevails soon in our administration! ⊕
