Which politicians are truly green?

Ca2005scorecard_1 If you put a politician in a green campaign bus, is he/she an environmentalist? Maybe yes. Maybe no. The numbers don’t lie. Check out my favorite resource. The California Environmental Scorecard by the California League of Conservation Voters over at www.ecovote.org. It shows the green legislation each year and how each Assembly and Senate member voted.

This 2006 Snapshot is quite telling. Look at the numbers over time too. Very interesting.

I was shocked by the 0% percentages across the board for many elected officials. It appears that certain parties are instructed to vote NO on all environmental bills, regardless of the issue. Why is this? Can someone explain this to me? 

Ducks Just because a politician walks and talks like a green duck, doesn’t mean he/she is truly green. Beware. Check the voting record. Might be a brown duck. Quack.
