<[link removed]> Happy Earth Day from ConservAmerica April 21, 2023 This year we celebrate the 53rd anniversary of Earth Day, and it provides all of us a great chance to reflect on the importance of protecting our planet and the environment for future generations. Since the first Earth Day in 1970, our country’s population has grown by nearly 130 million people. Many see growth and conservation as conflicting with each other. We don’t. We see growth as a key driver of innovation, better conservation efforts, and significant improvements to our environment. Most importantly, an improved environment is good for the indomitable human spirit, and the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Too often, “environmentalism” is an excuse to impose intrusive and costly government mandates and regulations when better solutions are available. At ConservAmerica, we focus on pathways to responsible stewardship based on markets, property rights, and the American spirit of entrepreneurialism while prioritizing local voices in the decision-making process. By harnessing the power of the markets to incentivize businesses and individuals to make better choices, we can drive environmentally friendly behavior and outcomes. While our first choice is a market-based approach, we support regulations that protect markets, property rights, and public safety and, where properly designed, those that incentivize innovation, competition, and the development of new technologies that can better protect and restore the environment. Protecting the environment is about improving the quality of people's lives. An approach that stresses market-based solutions, smart regulation, and cooperation between federal and state governments in lieu of a top-down, centralized methodology is the most effective way to encourage innovation and solve our biggest environmental issues. We also believe it is critical to support solutions embracing public-private collaboration. ConservAmerica is working every day with our supporters, fellow environmental advocates, and lawmakers to stake a conservative claim on conservation. As an organization, we seek to build common ground between policymakers and stakeholders around policies that protect the environment and economic growth. We thank you for your support and faith in our efforts. Happy Earth Day everyone - now get outside and enjoy! ConservAmerica is a nonprofit organization that advocates for market-based solutions to conservation, environmental, and energy challenges.
