Mileage Rewards

One of the rewarding things about doing Ampolo is that we get to meet with and then introduce our viewers to people devoted to making a difference in the community. In past weeks, you've seen Gabe Lyon, who along with husband Paul Sereno, is bring science to under-served high schoolers through Project Exploration. You've also seen Joan Brunwasser, who was way ahead of the curve in recognizing that we probably can't trust today's voting machines. This week we introduce you to Lali Watt, a village trustee in Wilmette, Illinois. As she explains, her novel, but remarkably simple idea to improve the environment is, at this point, largely symbolic. But she hopes, as do we, that what begins as a symbol can grow into a movement
