Today has been a pretty good day.
I walked from Newton Centre to Waban trying to facilitate the plastic bag ban in Newton. While I only got two businesses to sign on, several individuals who were working said that they personally supported the ban. I told them to go ahead and email their alderman and tell him that they wanted the ban. So overall, that went really well!
When I got back to Winter St., I had my end of internship review. They've been impressed with my work, and offered me a summer internship. It's more of a position as an internal organizer within Environment Massachusetts instead of as a policy intern, but I'm not sure if I'm going to take them up on the offer. I did tell them that I had several friends who might be interested, so if you're reading this and think you might like a summer internship in Boston, hit me up and I'll give you the connect! My adviser told me that anyone I send in will get an interview, which is nice because they don't even reply to a lot of the people vying for an internship.
After my review, I was going through and trying to figure how many LTEs I've spawned out into the world. I was really confused when some newspaper I'd never heard of before came up when I Googled myself. Come to find out, they ripped my first printed letter out of the Salem newspaper and printed it in their own!
As I type, I'm working on research for Environment Maine. The Land and Water Conservation Fund expires on March 27th. I spent a few hours yesterday phone banking on this issue. We are asking concerned members to call their senator to tell them that they want full funding for this issue, however it's getting a little scary because a lot of big corporations are lobbying against it. Part of the Fund allows for private chunks of land around a national park to be bought so that they can't be developed... you can imagine that a lot of corporations are less than pleased with it.
Tomorrow, I'm finishing up my final projects at Environment Massachusetts.
