We agree that: 

• Facts and logic should steer our philosophy.  

• Clean air, clean water, wild lands, and healthy ecosystems are in the interest of all people.  

• Corporations are not inherently bad nor good, but can be encouraged, cajoled or coerced into doing good work.

• Politicians work for the voters and enjoy being helpfully reminded of that sometimes.

• The communities that move first will be the ones building the new batteries and cars, producing alternative fuels, exporting energy, and thriving.  Those which hesitate, risk being left behind.
