Ensure a competitive energy market where renewable resources and conservation can flourish. Reduce the exposure to hazardous and nuclear wastes. Promote responsible solid waste management focusing on waste reduction, recycling and reuse. Encourage environmentally sound industrial practices. Health is the capacity of the land for self-renewal.
Conservation is our effort to understand and preserve that capacity.
As Kansans, we enjoy a rich natural inheritance of land, water and energy. Our well-being depends upon the wise use of these gifts, for they are the sources of our prosperity. We can no longer afford to squander top soil and fossil fuels or to pollute our water supplies. That is why the Kansas Natural Resource Council searches for ways to balance our demands with our available resources. KNRC's goal is to build sustainable natural resource policies - to harvest our inheritance at a rate that assures an equal abundance of resources for our children.
