2012: Changing the Dialogue About Chesapeake Restoration
Staff quoted: Bill Dennison
Our New Year's resolution for 2012 should be to improve our public dialogue about Chesapeake Bay restoration. Instead of public arguments, recriminations, and debates about the watershed models, we should be talking about innovative approaches to reducing nutrients reaching the Bay. Instead of arguing about how restoring Chesapeake will be too expensive, we should be embracing the new jobs that restoration activities create (see the Chesapeake Bay Foundation report "Debunking the 'Job Killer' Myth: How Pollution Limits Encourage Jobs in the Chesapeake Bay Region"). Instead of bemoaning the difference between current conditions and the "good old days," we should be celebrating the achievements that are being made with respect to realistic, short term targets.
