It has been proven that polite, positive, informed letters work. They are easy,inexpensive and powerful. Here are some suggestions:
· Make your letter personal. Tell why you care about this issue.
· Say that you are writing in support of the local communities and organizations that are working to protect the environment.
· Include the specific points that are listed in the action.
· The addresses on your action are of equal importance. A brief, polite letter to each targeted official is more effective than a long letter to just one.
· Stick to the facts. One inaccurate statement, accusation, or innuendo can invalidate an otherwise excellent letter.
· Avoid political or ideological issues unless specifically recommended.
· Keep copies of responses you receive. In our Action Status we update past cases and often issue “follow-up actions” on ongoing concerns.
