• Abstract:
  Thirty-three years since the first Earth Day....how far have we come? This planner highlights the conservation efforts of Stale Departments of Transportation. Over the past 33 years they have responded to the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the National Environmental Policy Act and more. The reasons for more environmentally-sensitive methods are not only regulatory, but economic, aesthetic, and safety. The benefits of these methods improve water quality, increase wildlife habitat, decrease erosion, and add new tools to roadside managers' tool boxes. Untraditional partnerships have become the norm as budgets shrink, common ground issues emerge, and agency connections are made. Since the first Earth Day of April 22, 19701 thoughtful decisions that preserve and restore the environment have become common. And so transportation has become a proactive conservation partner. May every day on your roadside planner be one of taking care of the land. This optimism is built on what we have learned from the past.
