"And when our children's children look us in the eye and ask if we did all we could..." Will you answer Yes, preserving the basic rights of ALL?
The world’s garden has lost another Sunflower of Humanity. Pete Seeger championed social change and we are right to honor his effort by being true to his empowering words...

We can all agree, Falmouth is steeped with experiences when it comes to siting wind turbines. This is why Falmouth’s voice needs to rise above the wind and help ourselves help others.

The State’s Department of Public Utilities is conducting an investigation, soliciting input for the development of wind siting guidance. It’s time we engage. It's time our community participates. It's time local government officials (Falmouth’s boards of Planning, Health and Selectmen - Falmouth’s committees of Conservation, Finance and Energy) stand by our community’s families, friends, and neighborhoods… and participate.

Falmouth’s Planning Board worked tirelessly on drafting what is an improved Wind Turbine Bylaw. Such effort and achievement cannot be marginalized by a DPU mechanism designed to circumvent local control over wind energy projects.
Town officials should individually stand in support of their neighbors, stand in support of the Planning Board’s work, and proudly stand in support of Town Meeting’s vision for Falmouth’s wind energy development future and Home Rule.
Seeger serves as example that great measures in society can be made from small opportunity. Falmouth... it's your time!
