Groundswell: CLCV Blog

Happy holidays to all of our friends and supporters. I hope you are able to enjoy time that includes people who bring joy and strength, warm food and celebration, and inspiration that will carry you through the next year.

Paramount Pictures is a legendary and thriving movie studio under the leadership of Chairman & CEO Brad Grey. It’s also an impressive model for other businesses dedicated to environmental protection and conservation.

Their extraordinary commitment to being “green” has earned them the CLCV-equivalent of a star on the Hollywood walk of fame: we’ll present Paramount with our Environmental Leadership Award this Thursday at our annual gala event.

Dayna Bochco is well known as a veteran television producer--together with Steven Bochco, their company has won over 10 Emmy Awards and produced hundreds of hours of television. But Ms. Bochco also does double duty as a committed advocate for California's environment.

Bochco, who has long fought for marine life protections and worked for solutions to climate change, storm-water pollution, and marine debris, will be honored at CLCV's annual Environmental Leadership Awards in Los Angeles on December 6th.

Thank you for voting. Thank you for talking to your friends and family about difficult, important issues. Thank you for listening to candidates and asking tough questions, and thank you for using your resources to support environmental protection.

And, most of all, thank you for taking part in another election with important victories for the environment in our great state of California.
