Until 2010, our Department of Natural Resources was one of Wisconsin’s hallmark achievements, protecting the environment and the lives depending on it. Indeed, it was Gaylord Nelson, a Wisconsin senator, who championed environmental stewardship and whose efforts provided the impetus for Earth Day.
With a new administration, Wisconsin has an opportunity to restore this tradition. But the destructive policies and actions taken during the past eight years have been costly, ongoing and not easily undone...
Ken Notes: Stop casting blame and pointing fingers as that is how we got here in the first place. We all have been guilty of swinging too far in any direction, what we need to remember is that to get the Nelson effect we have to work together embrace both the economy and the environment. If we have policy that costs jobs we will seek change and if we have policy that ignores the environment we we also change.
With the utilities able to include affordable renewables, companies seeing real value in going green, and opportunities to clean our watersheds now is the time to work together. We need to return the scientists to the DNR and search for way to improve our use of natural resources. We need better and more jobs as well.
