This website is the product of a group of environmentally-concerned citizens. Those same people have been instrumental in the formation of DurhamCLEAR, a broadly-based umbrella group which will monitor and advocate on environmental issues right across Durham Region.

We believe that some of the greatest opportunities to improve the environment exist at the local level and we would like to see our municipal councils as environmental leaders.

To this end we are looking towards this fall's municipal election. We wish to identify candidates (incumbents or otherwise) who share our environmental ideals and will implement a much greener agenda.

Government is complex and we readily acknowledge that politicians have an obligation to do what their constituents want. However, we firmly believe that with the current level of environmental awareness, the public will readily support good environmental policies provided they are fiscally sound.

Our mission is to educate the public and promote the election of 'green' candidates. We wish to counter the influence of developers and others who lobby against good environmental policies.

We wish to thank CAW-DREC (CAW-Durham Region Environmental Council) for their financial support of the questionnaire.
