Editor,

Environmentalists, especially those who participated in the Divestment March earlier this month in Coupeville, should set a good example in the community. One of the ways they can do this is by conserving electric power.

No one should burn an outdoor light all night, every night, in a residential area when this is not necessary. PSE (Puget Sound Energy) obtains about one-third of its energy from burning coal, the very thing the environmentalists are against.

If you believe in something, live it.
