It is with pleasure and pride that today we published the next issue of CPWToday. You can view it, and the previous two issues, at CPWToday.com. We are excited about this issue, because it contains articles on important environmental and conservation topics, such as Climate Change and Renewable Energy—Solar Power Basics and an article on the first residential solar system in Manassas, Virginia. This issue also provides continuing articles on Transportation Oriented Develop (TOD) and the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) and the Prince William County Landfill, where innovation has made energy out of methane gas from the decomposing trash. This issue also contains fun and interesting articles and videos on a nearby eagle’s nest containing two eaglets and the Dale City Farmers’ Market.

This issue is long, containing many articles. Therefore, we recommend bookmarking the home page and revisiting to read all of the articles and see all of the videos. Each article is accompanied by one or more videos, many of which provide aerial views not commonly seen. Make the videos full screen and turn up the sound.

 We also highly recommend subscribing to CPWToday so you will be notified when the next issue is published. We are already working on the next issue, and it will contain many interesting new topics, as well as more on Climate Change. We do not share email addresses or other personal information with any other individuals, organizations or businesses.

 We know you will enjoy reading the articles and seeing the videos, and please provide comments. We will share comments in future editions, unless asked not to publish them. We welcome alternative views.
