A recent Conservation
Foundation assessment of en-
vironmental conditions and
the management of natural
resources in the United States
found good news: there has
been progress on a number of
environmental problems.
3WS-__©
Changes are essential to
ensure continued progress
in air and water pollution
control.
The report, “State of the
Environment: A View Toward
the Nineties,” provides data
on environmental conditions
and a look at the difficulties
in implementing environ-
mental programs. It’s aimed
at helping leaders in govern-
ment, business planners, ac-
tivists, students and con-
cerned citizens to understand
environmental problems and
how they might be solved.
The report shows that our
expenditures on air and water
pollution control are working.
However, the report also con-
cludes that there is much more
work to be done. Changes are
essential if further progress
is to be made on longstanding
environmental issues and
newly recognized ones alike.

the report and how you can

servation Foundation, 1250
