Does the fact that environmental protection and economic productivity are often conflicting goals mean that we must chose EITHER complete environmental protection OR material goods and services? Of course not. No reasonable person would suggest entirely abandoning either goal in favor of the other. So we must decide as a society--and in many cases as a global society--how far we want to go to protect the environment that sustains us, and how we want to go about doing so. These are not easy decisions. And they affect all of us. It is my goal to present in this site some of the tough and complex choices we face as a nation and as society of nations...not just the usual "pro" and "con" sound bites we get from TV news.

There ARE workable solutions and compromises out there in the arena of environmental protection. Such positive outcomes have been acheived in recent years when cooler heads have prevailed over radical extremists, and when all the parties affected by some particular dilemma have gotten together to negotiate an acceptable solution. Success stories like these have domonstrated that we CAN fashion solutions that are more acceptable to everyone involved than the old approach of federal rule-making and subsequent court fights.
