How to Get Involved With Local Government

A fellow Arkansan! I live in a small town in central Arkansas and I’m working with my mayor to form a sustainability committee. What are your thoughts on committee vs commission? I’m very new to this so any advice would be great!

How was it working w/ the people on your Board? If discussion was ever difficult, were there ways to bring it back to common ground? Compromise is so important, but so hard sometimes haha. (Thank you Nala for blessing us w/ the back of ur head💕)

I'm an environmental professional. I grew up conservative and as adult I did research. And I become a stronger conservative. I am republican and I care for the environment. I help protect the environment for a living. #engineer

What research are you talking about ? Hopefully, the democratic party was much different than the current existing party.
Making companies get rid of bags all together due to complications when paper bags are helpful just didn't help. That was not a good example.
