thank you for the reminder that our area is far more mthan just the City! I asked about involving the City only because I know that the Mayor endorses things like this and that there's a proc3ess for requesting 'official' actioin. Can any of you coach me how to get this moving on County levels? perhaps contacting local representatives? or would it be enough to put something in the newspapers and perhaps a flyer on area bulletin boards?

Why just the City? Thanks to the notion that anybody can live anywhere they please and still be considered progressive, enlightened and environmentally responsible, City of Ithaca residents now constitute less than 30 percent of the total population of Tompkins County, and only about 20 percent of the non-student population in the county. What about the Town of Ithaca, Village of Cayuga Heights, Village of Lansing, Town of Caroline, Town of Dryden, Town of Danby, Town of Newfield, Town of Enfield, Town of Ulysses or Town of Lansing, the residents of which together now constitute 75 percent of Tompkins County residents? Does their electricity use NOT contribute to global warming?
