On Earth Day we can celebrate...

To the editor:

 

On Earth Day we can celebrate one local success story and work together to ensure a second.

First, Lora Friest, director of the Northeast Iowa Resource, Conservation and Development, in a recent presentation showed how careful data collection, analysis, and remediation work in the Upper Iowa Watershed tributaries over the past 13 years has begun to decrease pollution. Friest noted that the previous 20-year water-testing efforts documented a steady increase in nutrient levels prior to the RC&D stepping in to help.

Since its inception in 1970...

To the editor:

 

Since its inception in 1970, the Earth Day phenomenon has led to enormous growth in understanding of the consequences we face if we do not take care of our natural resources. It has led to more action to protect our planet’s land, water, air, wildlife, and us as human beings.

Here in America and around the world, environmental concerns are becoming a primary focus. Lawmakers and business leaders, consumers and producers, families and individuals, teachers and students… everyone has a vested interest in preserving the earth, so we should set aside a day to remind us how important our natural resources are to us.  

When I’ve asked the Iowa farmers and ranchers what they know about Earth Day, the humble and honest reply I usually get is,  “Every day is Earth Day.” Where asphalt and pavement turn to gravel and dirt, you will find rural men and women greeting each day to work the ground.  The soil. The earth.
