Dorothy’s Law: To modernize water policy and management in California

From the California Progress Report:

About 125 people came out to the beach at Santa Monica Pier on a cloudy Sunday to share their favorite Dorothy Green stories. Some people came as far as San Francisco, Sun Valley and Denver to reminisce about Dorothy’s amazing achievements, tireless work ethic, big heart, and sense of humor. The County Lifeguards paid tribute to Dorothy, the founding president of Heal the Bay who passed away in October, as one of their own with a boat offshore and Capt. Angus Alexander’s inspirational words at the podium.

Any event with Dorothy had to include an environmental action and her memorial was no different. Paula Daniels, Conner Everts and I put together a version of “Dorothy’s Law”: a common-sense legislative solution to California’s dysfunctional water supply management.

The text was based on Dorothy’s last editorial in the Los Angeles Times. Every visitor at the memorial was asked (actually, required) to sign the request for Dorothy’s Law, and now the environmental community will forward it to the state legislature and the Governor’s office. Hopefully some elected leader will follow Dorothy’s advice to move us towards sustainable water supply management.
