What is EcoVision?

I see this blog as a vehicle to explore and profile environmental issues of interest to myself and my community. Over the 30 odd years living in the Wakefield area, I've played an "environmental ombudsman" role as Ernie Mahoney used to call it. I've tried to focus on water issues but the truth is, I've always been outspoken about Mother Earth issues. The recent realization that the planned highway 5 extension to Wakefield will result in the loss of our local access to Brown's Lake, along with the likely impact of the Valle Verde aquifer that is probably the source of the Valley Drive spring, is one of those issues I just had to wade into. I felt the time was right for the creation of a blog for all things environmental. I look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions. I can't promise that I'll publish everything I hear, but I'll do my best to be fair, balanced and pragmatic.
