PROTECTING NATURAL RESOURCES

In 2017, some on the city council voted to cut down dozens of century-old oak trees near Lake Decatur.  Logging can increase sediment in a lake we are spending over $130 million to dredge.  Rather than logging Decatur forests, the city council should protect our beautiful forests, scenic waterways, and the unique plants and animals they contain.  The city of Decatur has an opportunity to become a leader in environmental sustainability by converting vacant lots into community greenspaces and using more renewable energy.  I will be the strongest advocate for Decatur's natural environment and improving our quality of life.  Spending in time in nature improves our health including: lower incidences of diabetes, lower incidences of heart disease, and increased longevity in seniors.
