About

Welcome to Helping Our Peninsula’s Environment (HOPE’s) new Web-log (Blog). The big improvement is that you can add your thoughts and ideas.

Founded in 1998, due to overwhelming public support, HOPE is known for, and dedicated to, protecting our natural environment and providing genuine democracy on California’s Greater Monterey Peninsula by providing world class vision, advocacy, and public education in environmental science and law, and public participation.

HOPE works on many dozens of issues a year and wins at least half of them (107 wins in 2000).

HOPE is known (with tongue in cheek) as the group which stopped both “Dirty Harry” and “The Terminator.”

Clint Eastwood tried to destroy thousands of trees in an imperiled forest for yet another golf course , and
Gov. Schwarzenegger started aerially spraying our Monterey Bay cities with secret untested pesticides.

HOPE led both winning battles.Here with this Web-log “Blog” we, and Friends of HOPE, can all better help each other with questions and responses.

Please feel welcome to ask or post your thoughts about protecting our Peninsula’s Environment or Democracy.

with our good wishes,
-David Dilworth, for the Board of Trustees,
Helping our Peninsula’s Environment
