“As we celebrate Earth Day this April 22 and reflect on how far environmental stewardship has come, we have an opportunity to reimagine conservation to speed up action and get results to meet today’s challenges. When Earth Day first began in 1970, it was in the midst of a remarkable wave of environmental legislation: the Endangered Species Act, Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, National Environmental Policy Act and other landmark laws fundamentally changed America’s relationship with its natural resources. … over the decades, these well-intentioned laws have calcified into bureaucratic processes that impede progress due to a fear of reform and misguided belief that only regulation can solve these issues.” (04/23/25)
