Task #1

Find out which councillors have the right stuff with regard to the environment

Task #2

Identify new candidates with the right mix of leadership and environmental savvy!

Task #3

Elect Town and Regional Councils which will make good environmentally sound decisions

This website and its associated environmental questionnaire are a DurhamCLEAR project.

Our other projects include the fight against the incinerator in Courtice for which we established a DontGetBurned.org campaign site where you can send ready formatted and addressed emails to various Ministers and officials. There is also a link there to obtain a "SAY NO TO INCINERATION" sign for your front lawn.

Our main site is DurhamCLEAR.ca where you can join the organization, donate or follow links to other activities.

Rather than fighting environmental issues one by one, let's elect people who already grasp the importance of the environment.
