The preservation of our quality mature and iconic buildings is a plus for historical and environmental concerns alike. The "greenest" building is a built structure.

This is a great overview of the many pressures that will are on OK to protect OUR water resources for the benefit of ALL Oklahomans. There are many entities waiting to benefit the most while others may lose their rights to water near them.
The League of Women Voters are focusing on water issues now along with other groups like Grand Riverkeepers, PreserveMidtown, Sierra Club, Blue Thumb and others.
Oklahomans must work together to ensure we have an adequate, clean supply to meet all future needs in both rural and urban environments.
Science must prevail over politics!

The "district planning councils" structure like St. Paul, MN is definitely one concept that Tulsa needs to adopt to lead our city into more a productive, positive and progressive community. Our new comprehensive plan from PlaniTulsa will be our road map into the future, but it will need an equally progressive infrastructure to implement it.
We need to move into our future working together! Trying to marginalize certain sectors of our city like north and west Tulsa or the residential neighborhoods has been a proven mistake in the past and will not make our city a better place to be in the future. Our city councilors are trying to bring us together, but they cannot do this alone. They need the support of others to research, network and coordinate this transition. These planning councils would be a definite support system to the council and the city of Tulsa.
Let's take this opportunity to really be progressive!

Thank you Michael, for addressing this current lighting dynamic in Tulsa.
At a time of economic crisis and a universal desire to be more protective of our environment in which we all live and breathe, one would think a lighting choice would receive more scrutiny.
I do remember when you could look up in the sky in midtown Tulsa and see lots of stars. It saddens me that children may think that the stars do not shine over Tulsa while they do shine over the dark countryside!
We can do better! The night sky is part of our environment and does affect our level of comfort in our community. How did we let it slowly disappear?
With all our technology and lighting choices available, we can and must do better!
