Zach Stevens 10/19/2018 11:57 AMHi All! I created my own challenge, but am not sure how to share it. If you are frustrated this voting season about a lack of actionable environmental causes on the ballot, consider supporting the effort in Washington to institute the nations first Carbon Tax via initiative 1631. If you aren't a resident, you can donate to the effort with this link: https://yeson1631.org/
There is currently a lot of money coming into the state from carbon corporations to defeat the bill, so every dollar helps!-
