Because People Matter

Editorial: It's Not That Easy Being Green

How People Matter

By Muriel Strand, Co-Coordinating Editor for this issue

As I write my first BPM editorial, my mind wanders back to when I helped start the Sacramento Greens, before the Green Party, when we met in Dale Crandall-Bear’s New Society bookstore. Why the Greens? Because the integration of social and ecological sustainability is a key Green principle.

A few years later this newspaper was created Because some Sacramentans believe People Matter. People can make a difference, and people deserve consideration from others.

But how much do people matter?

Farewell to our BPM distribution team

Thank You Paulette!

From the BPM Editorial Board

Thanks to Paulette Cuilla for all her work and years of service. Paulette has been an indispensable help in getting our words out! She took on the distribution of BPM at a time when our network wasn’t working. She took an unorganized distribution concept and somehow got the paper into the hands of readers. She recruited and organized distributors into an efficient team.
