Chappelle-Nadel Sponsors Earth Day Event

Maria Chappelle-Nadal sponsored a public forum on energy and environment issues at the U City Library. Discussion topics included how to increase energy efficiency at the state, city and residential levels. Representatives from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and AmerenUE were among those participating in the discussion.

About 25 people attended. Her panel discussed ways not waste energy and therefore reduce costs. However, there was no discussion of how to increase energy production in Missouri therefore reducing cost. Further, there was no discussion of how Ethonol production was driving up food costs. U City Council member, Lynn Ricci, did mention how she wanted the U City Police to write more traffic tickets to slow people down (perhaps to save fuel?).

It was a lot of fun for those that attended.
