Change the Margins

We are getting ready for our tour of the State House and our "lobbying" of State Senators, Representatives and the Governor about our green initiative to Change the Margins. In keeping with a save paper mode, our press kit is not only online, it is on disc as well. We have created a power point presentation to mail or show to anyone who is interested. Here is a youtube video with scripted segments by Eli and Shayna. The link is highlighted below:Please send the link to friends and family Spread the word...

This week we wrote letters with persuasive arguments to:
Boston Mayor Menino
Boston Mayor's Environment office: Jim Hunt
Bryan Glascock, Boston Mayor's Environment office
Waltham Mayor, McCarthy
Watertown Town Council
Cambridge City Council, Mayor Simmons
New York Times, letters to the editor
Mayor of Newton
Mayor of Malden
Carisle Mosquito
JP Gazette
and we contacted these members of our State legislature:
Governor Deval Patrick, aide
and press office
Senator Tolman
Representative Rachel Kapreilian
Representative Alice Wolf
Representative Frank Smizik
Representative Mike Rush

We also wrote to WHDH, WBUR, WGHBH, the Globe and to Tamara Krinsky to say thanks for her powerful but simple idea.

If you have a PC, here's how to change the margins in Microsoft Word:

1. Go to File, then Page Setup.
2. In the Margins tab, type in 0.75 for top, bottom, left and right.
3. Click the Default button at the bottom of the Margins tab. A prompt will ask if you want to change the default settings for page setup. Click Yes.

If you have a Mac:
1. Go to Format, then Document.
2. In the Document dialogue box, click on Margins and fill in 0.75 for top, bottom, left and right.
3. Click OK.
