Local Government and Me
Your feedback is a powerful tool that can help local government officials make informed decisions that benefit the entire community.
Our local and global communities are being impacted by climate change. Our homes and our livelihoods are being destroyed by biodiversity loss. We cannot afford to sit on the sidelines and wait for someone else to take action to protect our spaces.
Every one of us has a role to play in shaping our futures.
We can raise awareness and share knowledge with others by participating in discussions about how environmental issues impact our homes. We can learn from each other's experiences and ideas and generate new solutions and approaches to our local problems.
By engaging in discussions about environmental issues, we can also help to make sure our local government, business community, nonprofit organizations and neighbors are engaged on environmental issues and build partnerships to create lasting positive change.
Your feedback is a powerful tool that can help local government officials make informed decisions that benefit the entire community.
By sharing your experiences and concerns about environmental justice, you can help raise awareness and mobilize others to take action, making a positive impact in our community.
Learning about environmental issues can empower us to make informed decisions and take actions that support the health of our community and our environment.
We recognize and respect the inherent sovereignty of the Ho-Chunk Nation and the other 11 First Nations within the boundaries of the state of Wisconsin.
