Carbon Patrol Unit Sweeps Washington County!
Here in western Washington County, we're still waiting for governments at the city, county, state, and federal levels to take the firm action needed to stave off the effects of climate change. Concerned citizens are naturally worried by this government inaction - after all, global warming is perhaps the greatest threat to the safety and security of people all over the world today. So what's to be done? Luckily, the newly-established Washington County Carbon Patrol Unit is picking up the slack, identifying dangerous "carbon crimes" in our area and keeping them under strict surveillance.
Reports show our local Carbon Patrol Unit has so far discovered "gas guzzling" to be one of the most rampant carbon crimes in the area. They've had a tough job tracking down criminal SUVs and giant pickup trucks, and awarding their owners violation tickets for their transgression (see the pictures on this post). The Unit is confronting hardened criminals, here - vehicles that have burned thousands of pounds of carbon, releasing dangerous greenhouse gases into our atmosphere. It's not a job for the faint of heart, but it needs to be done. It's time to get tough on carbon crime!
Help bring carbon crimes under control - SIGN THE PETITION TO THE WASHINGTON COUNTY BOARD!

About Me

Student at Pacific University
Hillsboro, OR USA
ENGEL: Environmental ethics; New leadership; Green development; Economic sustainability; Local action! As a student activist, I am working to bring attention to global warming in Oregon. Most of my work takes place at the local level; I have convinced my own city of Hillsboro, OR, to sign onto the US Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, and I am now working to get Washington County, OR to sign onto the county-level version of this same pledge. On my blog ENGEL (acronym explained above), I report on local government actions all over the state which either help or hinder the climate movement; there are lots of opportunities for readers of this blog to help contribute to the climate movement by making their voices heard; whether in city or county governments, at school, or anywhere else. Please help me make change in Oregon! -Nick
