About the 2010 Environmental Priorities
The overall themes behind Washington state's 2010 Priorities.
In these
challenging economic times, our leaders in Olympia need to stand up and make
smart decisions that not only support economic recovery but also protect our
environment.
This year, the Environmental Priorities Coalition has chosen three priority
proposals to support during Washington State's legislative session that aim to
meet this need. Together, they will deliver healthy communities and sustainable green
jobs.
Our 2010 Priorities help ensure clean water, create new jobs, reduce the
threat of toxic chemicals, and maintain core environmental protections in a time
of slashed budgets.
In addition, the coalition is
dedicated to maintaining the strength and integrity of the Citizen's Clean
Energy Initiative, I-937. We will ensure that the Legislature delivers on the
commitment to building a clean energy economy and supporting green jobs. By
doing so, we will decrease both our fossil fuel dependence and climate
pollution.
