The Environment
Think globally - act locally is more important today than it has ever been. Our environment is threatened from a variety of sources, global warming being the most serious, but the impacts of local development, such as the loss of agricultural and wild lands as well the effect that development has on endangered and threatened species also are a concern. In our daily actions we need to support and encourage efforts of sustainability, and understand that how we treat our environment today will be felt for a lifetime.
