The League of Women Voters seems to be a good organization with the community coming first in their objectives. They work through the government to help combat their issues. They seem very organized and really believe in getting voters involved in all of their issues. I also noticed that they will not endorse candidates, but only back issues.
The Bay Area Resource Council seems as it is a fair and balanced organization that consists of elected officials from the local governments. They have different groups that have different purposes for the environment, from working with schools to working with environmental standards.
As far as Sisskin’s op-ed, I think she had some good and bad ideas, but all from a good heart. Synchronizing traffic lights and educating youth about the environment were two ways that I really felt were reasonable, but having alternative work hours and more carpooling may be a little too much. Many businesses have to get their work done at the “working hours” of the day, and asking them to change might hurt their business. And neighborhood carpooling is something that is hard for this area with how spread out the area is.
