         ACTION                              MManea (and some in surrounding areas)
                                             who wants to take action and share ideas of how
                                             we can tackle climate change as a community.
                                             There are things we can do, no matter how small,
                 FOR                         that not only help the environment but can either
                                             make  us money or save  us money, helping to
                                             build a community we can be proud of.
