5 Easy-To-Read Eco Guides to Election 2012
In this election, neither candidate is eager to talk about the environment. That’s why we all need to be vocal advocates of green policies. The first step is to make sure we’re informed about the issues and how each candidate’s policies affect our country and our communities. Here are some good resources for getting up to speed on the issues without losing your mind:
1. Compare President Obama’s official energy platform to Mitt Romney’s official platform.
2. Environment 360 – simple comparison of President Obama’s and Mitt Romney’s respective positions on environmental policies.
3. About Politics - provides voting records of your representatives on key issues. You can easily find your state’s representatives then search each representative’s voting record by issue, including the environment.
4. Huffington Post Green – HuffPo is doing a great job of posting up to date coverage of green issues in Election 2012. You can also follow them on Twitter @HuffPostGreen.
5. Takepart - recently published an interesting examination of how both candidates are avoiding the environmental issue in their campaign rhetoric.
How are you staying informed on eco issues in Election 2012?

The president is a dreamer. Mitt Romney is a realist. We have to fix our economy first. I for one don't want another cent of our taxes going to more failed projects. That money went to the CEO's. That's why companies like Solyndra went bust. What has Obama accomplished for our environment? Nothing! Mitt Romney wants alternative energy, but we have to walk before we can run. Obama had his chance and he blew it. I am willing to give Mitt Romney a try. -
Alicia, that's great info. This is what I like about your site: as well as compassion, intelligence too. Have a great day, people, and especially Alicia! xoxo. -
Thank you! I've been looking for this info. This topic is extremely important to me in how I'll vote on Tuesday.
