Palo Alto is doing quite a bit. There is A LOT of public art in the
city that encourages personal responsibility. The biggest zip code
of contributors to Acterra is in Palo Alto, and is also the biggest
zip code on our Green Party list. Jim Burch is far from the only
green activist on that City Council. Another one is Peter Drekmeier,
who is spearheading that initiative to protect our open space from
mini mansion sprawl. Forgive me, I'm having trouble distinguishing
the City from its mayor.
