About SC Green Gov
In less than a year, we will choose our next governor. Whether you are a member of Conservation Voters or visiting this site simply because you care about the environment, you want clean water and air for your children and a clean energy economy to power our state and create jobs. In the June primary and later in November we have a chance to elect a governor who shares our conservation values and who will lead South Carolina into a clean, green future.
You have a chance RIGHT NOW to be part of an effort to create this bright future. Many of the declared candidates are ONLY NOW forming their environmental platforms. They are making choices about whether or not to fight for clean water, clean air, and healthy, sustainable communities. They need to hear from us.
Welcome to the SCGreenGov campaign! Here, you can:
All the candidates want to appear green because it’s popular. But many are tempted by another kind of green. Polluters, big developers and other powerful interests have deep pockets and little regard for the environment. It’s easy to talk the green talk, without walking the green walk.
This site allows you to tell your friends and the candidates what’s important to you. Our next governor will make critical decisions about protecting our air and water, planning for future growth, and creating a clean energy plan. Will we invest in offshore drilling or wind farms? Will we take more garbage from northern states or protect working farms and forests? The choice is ours.
We can determine how green our next governor will be by telling candidates that we will not vote for anyone who tries to bargain away our natural heritage. We are South Carolinians and we care about air, water, land, health, jobs and clean energy. Together we can make a difference.
LET’S ELECT A GREEN GOVERNOR IN 2010!
