Dear Friends, Activists, and Readers –

A year ago, I was forced to shutter the NJ PEER Office due to lack of funding from PEER national and NJ based Foundations and sought crowd source funding to keep this blog alive.

Many friends were generous with financial support and those contributions have literally kept me alive.

Since then, despite passing a half million reader milestone, the financial situation has further deteriorated, as paying work has not appeared and the big Foundations – like Dodge and Wm. Penn – are targets of my wrath, not grant proposals.

But, over this past year, I have tried to “live in truth” and have continued to blog almost daily and provide pro bono expert support to communities and activists on a range of important issues.

Some of the issues and/or places I’ve focused on over the last year include:

• Climate change, energy, & pipelines
• Pinelands
• DEP regulatory rollbacks of C1, Flood Hazard, Coastal, WQMP, & Highlands septic density
• Drinking water, water quality, drought, & water supply plan
• Sparta Mountain and Highlands logging plans
• Christie and DEP accountability

I’ve tried to help local activists wage battles in Pompton Lakes, Chesterfield, New Egypt, Sparta, Milford & Moorestown.

I’ve tried to provide leadership and strategic advise to environmental groups, and led the charge on issues like State Parks funding, defending C1 buffers and seeking a legislative veto of DEP rules, Sparta Mountain logging, and how to use the Clean Water Act to block pipelines.

I’ve testified at numerous legislative and regulatory hearings and attended, photographed, and written in support of many activist protest events.

So, once again, I ask those who have enjoyed or benefitted from my work to make a financial contribution.

Thanks for your support.
