BIG BEND ENVIRONMENTAL CANDIDATE FORUM
Thursday night’s candidates forum at Tallahassee City Hall was a mix of candidate opinions, rehearsed quotes with a few good ideas mixed in. Few candidates were well versed in the issues and fewer still had any good suggestions to address global warming, transportation alternatives, reducing the local governments’ carbon footprint, supporting alternative energy and smart growth policies. The event was sponsored by the Big Bend Environmental Forum, the League of Women Voters, the Council of Neighborhood Associations and Sustainable Tallahassee. For the most part, questions came from the audience and were read from cards by the moderator, sometimes with his own additions, interpretations or commentary. Each candidate was not asked to answer each question. Sometimes candidates were asked new questions instead of being provided a chance to answer the same question as his/her preceding opponent. This meant that either the second responding candidate had to take time allotted to answer the new question to address the preceding question or he/she had to skip the preceding question altogether. This format made it difficult to track each candidate’s response to each issue.
Here’s a summary of candidates as they appeared.

Compact fluorescent lamps reduce energy consumption and prevent greenhouse gas emissions. Since these lamps contain a small amount of mercury that is necessary to produce fluorescent light, the lamps should be recycled at the county’s household hazardous waste disposal site at the Landfill.
You may also recycle your CFL’s at the Green Living Center, 1020 North Monroe Street, Marpan Recycling, 6020 Woodville Highway, Tallahassee.
If a compact fluorescent lamp should accidentally break in your home, follow these cleanup guidelines:
