what we like about where we live

Jon Stahl’s Journal: New poll shows concern for environment in Puget Sound; dissatisfaction with current state of affairs:

“In an opinion column in this weekend’s Seattle Times, James Vesley previews a forthcoming pollconducted by the Puget Sound Regional Council. This poll presents a great media/outreach opportunity for local/regional enviros.”

The first point he notes makes me want to make sure I get that paper, in case they don’t put that stuff online:

People love it here. Fully 80 percent of respondents thought their town is a good or excellent place to live; 52 percent thought the natural environment and beauty are what they liked best. That only fortifies the larger notion that people are deeply committed to natural stewardship in a congested metropolis.
