Objective: Educate and encourage each property owner in the country to "Take Care of Their Share"™ of their local environment by practicing environmentally sound actions in their own homes and yards.

Proposal: US Government should provide a central Take Care of Your Share™ website that has links to the various government departments that provide the information residents need to become effective environmental stewards. These departments would include natural resources, conservation, native plant societies, fish & wildlife departments, cooperative extension system offices, solid waste departments, water management, etc. In order to be most effective the site should ONLY provide links to official organizations whose purpose is to provide information and not contain sites with advertising or whose purpose is to raise funds for environmental organizations.
Residents could be notified about this central site through handouts at building and utility departments, driver license bureaus and other government offices. Each state should also provide their own Take Care of Your Share™ page to provide regional information.

Goals: Initiative from whatever level of government is necessary to encourage participation by local state governments.
Funding to assist with creation of web pages and distribution of materials
Multi-media campaign to spread the word to Take Care of Your Share™.

Motivation: There is a huge amount of information available to help educate people about how to Take Care of Their Share™ of the environment. Much of it has been created by scientists and members of numerous government organizations. However, the information is spread out and very difficult to find.

The recent trend towards personal environmental responsibility makes this a vital time to have the information available to those who seek it. Local governments have the resources of trained scientists, ecologists, horticulturists and others in fields that can provide this information. Having it available and easily accessible to the public could play a tremendous role in the preservation of our country's natural resources.
