And the envelope please By Becky Bains

Something as simple as a little No. 9 envelope can make a huge difference. Really. It seems like such a small gesture but the impact on our work can be enormous. We all agree that we want and deserve clean water and clean air. We want and deserve clean energy alternatives. We need to protect the special places that make Wisconsin wonderful. And that is what Clean Wisconsin, along with all of our members, is doing. And here is where the envelope comes in. The little envelope that is tucked inside this newsletter makes it easy for you to assist Clean Wisconsin in being an advocate and effective voice. Simply write a check for whatever amount you chose, slip it inside the envelope, stamp it, and drop it in the mailbox. You can even donate via your credit card. It is as simple as that. Perhaps you take a minute. Maybe two. But that act of making a contribution to Clean Wisconsin has an impact. You are helping to work toward clean water, clean air, and clean energy.

In Memoriam

Dennis Koepke Dennis Koepke (1957–2010), senior economist at the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin, died this spring after living for five years with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Dennis was a true friend to many folks at Clean Wisconsin and worked tirelessly on many energy initiatives including Wisconsin’s Task Force on Global Warming and the Midwestern Governors Association’s Greenhouse Gas Accord. In addition to his strong technical skills, Dennis was willing to explain and educate other stakeholders and the public about energy and emissions in the Midwest. Dennis is survived by his wife and two children. His expertise, humor and friendship will be sorely missed by Clean Wisconsin and the citizens of our state.
