During this heated election season, this is a great one, and it can REALLY make a difference, especially at the local level!  During election campaigns, ask candidates about their position on the environment.  Try to ask specific questions that relate to situations in your community-- whether they support a mandatory recycling program, for example, or whether they plan to get tough on polluting companies. 

A little can go a long ways here, if you have a little time, work as a volunteer on a "green" candidate's campaign.  As a volunteer, you can canvas neighborhoods in your local community, make phone calls, and help with fund-raisers!  This is also a great opportunity to meet some like-minded individuals to network with, perhaps you will even get some business!

As always, feel free to comment with any questions or if you have anything to add!
