  8. Excellent comments everybody!

    Do you think Penelope's action will make a difference in people's minds as they get ready to vote next week?

    It makes me want to dig deeper into the environmental issues that are being discussed by the leaders as the continue their campaigning.

    Did any of you watch last night's debate?

    Do you know if environmental issues were discussed at all?

    Did you find out anything new that should be shared?
