Now here’s some encouraging news about the private sector stepping forward to do what’s right by us wildlife and the habitat we rely on.
I mentioned hope and inspiration in my previous post, and this is the stuff that keeps my friend – The Don Quixote of Fish Biologists – going.
Here’s an excerpt from an uplifting article: By this time next year, I believe we’ll reflect back on 2017 as the year that the private sector stepped up to protect our land, water and wildlife for future generations.
I believe this because major retailers, food companies, agricultural businesses and farmers laid the groundwork in 2016, making sizeable commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), improve water quality and conserve habitat for imperiled wildlife.
President-elect Trump has made political theater by threatening to kill the regulations that protect our nation’s air and water. But in the real world, the private sector is going the other direction.
Forward-thinking businesses are rolling up their sleeves and finding ways to make those regulations work better by accelerating the uptake of practices that are good for the planet and the bottom line.
