Last July, The Inlander featured a story asking one question: Where did we go wrong? Interviewed were local writers, politicians, scientists, artists, teachers, conservatives, liberals, and more. The reaction was mixed between inspiring and shouts of elitism. We though it was a revealing look at Spokane’s political eco-system, as many issues like conservation and alternative energy were brought up. Kicking off the article was environmental advocate Kitty Klitzke, and The Spovangelist (spreading the good word of the city) has posted the unedited version of her moving response which makes DTE even more thankful we have such a powerful mind in our community. Here is an excerpt: “Before we reach the end of this environmental and economic rope we will learn from this. People and communities have begun to reprioritize over the last two decades. We can look to both our past, and to green technology and new perspectives to put us on a more sustainable, healthy and fulfilling path; revitalizing our cities, restoring our environment, and re-investing in a shared future that values people, the earth, and our community well being over shallow and demoralizing materialism.” Jump on over to the Spovangelist for the full comment HERE.
