Thirtyseven percent of voters opposed the effort while 10 percent expressed no preference. Among Republicans, 76 percent said they would support banning non-U.S. citizen Muslims from entering the country. About 25 percent of voters who identified as Democrats agreed. A majority of the respondents of the survey, 51 percent, also favored the immediate deportation of undocumented immigrants, while 52 percent said they either “strongly” (34 percent) or “somewhat” (18 percent) supported building a wall between the U.S. and Mexico.

ALONG THE GREEN TRAIL

Make independent choices when celebrating holiday By Naima Montacer @naimajeannette

Good news — if you work a regular 9 to 5 job, you probably have this coming Monday off for the Fourth of July! It’s time to plan your all-American weekend to celebrate our nation’s independence. In your American celebration full of hamburgers and fireworks, there are small choices to make this holiday red, white and green. No, I’m not trying to take away the fireworks from your life, although they are terrible for air quality, but small choices can help ease the impact on the environment. Use real plates and utensils. I noticed on my limited TV watching a new paper plate commercial selling the

idea that paper plates create meaningful relationships because of the extra time you have together from not washing dishes. Marketing at its best! Don’t be fooled by the one-time use marketing, and remember they really just want you to buy their product, toss it and buy it again. Ditch the one-time use items and get the group involved in washing — I would even argue that a team cleanup effort may form stronger relationships! Be green wise when choosing your grilling fuel. Propane produces about half the emissions of generic charcoal, making it the easiest and cleanest choice. If you yearn for the charcoal flavor, choose a charcoal made from recycled or sustainable materials.

Ditch the toxic lighter fluid or at least buy the low toxin, environmentally friendly products. Whole Foods and Home Depot have more green charcoal solutions. Choose local sustainable produce and meat. Load up at Green Grocer on Greenville Avenue or make a point to stop by the Dallas Farmers

Market to find everything you need to make your barbecue a success — fresh tomatoes, peppers, free range organic eggs, grass-fed meats, local honey, local berries in season, watermelon and much more. This is the season you can do all of your shopping at the see HOLIDAY on page 2
