Welcome to Kentucky Family Policy
This blog is dedicated to examining issues facing the Commonwealth of Kentucky and providing a nonpartisan, family perspective on public policy making. We hope to provide a forum for Kentuckians to review and discuss current legislative actions and the issues such actions are attempting to address. The opinions expressed herein belong solely to the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the University of Kentucky, its affiliates, or its representatives.
What the authors of this blog will contribute:
1) Summarize current state, national, and international research related to topics relevant to current legilative actions.
2) Describe Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service programs and activities currently addressing issues related to legilative actions in the various counties.
3) Provide expert commentaries via podcasts and videocasts on issues relevant to current legilative actions.

Our world contains finite resources, and with wise use we can extend availability and have a more sustainable environment. A program based on University of Kentucky’s “Living Green: A Matter of Choice” was taught in 19 Kentucky counties to 124 Homemakers. These leaders shared the lesson concepts to 1485 members. A post survey sent to the trained homemaker leaders indicated that 65 participants now use CFL or LED bulb, 71 are unplugging unused appliances, 35 opted out of receiving junk mail and they have encouraged 703 additional people to adopt greener lifestyles. Green household and consumer products were used to illustrate innovative options in a tabletop display for educational shows, reaching an additional 4,000 people.
