What You Missed: Open For Questions on the America’s Great Outdoors Initiative
On March 4th, White House Council on Environmental Quality Chair Nancy Sutley and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson, hosted a live chat to answer your questions about the America’s Great Outdoors initiative. The initiative seeks to reinvigorate our approach to conservation and reconnect Americans, especially young people, with the lands and waters that are used for farming and ranching, hunting and fishing, and for families to spend quality time together. They took questions from YouTube videos and Facebook participants from across the country on ways to develop a conservation and recreation agenda that makes sense for the 21st century

I love this venture for two reasons: 1. the idea to reconnect young Americans with the lands used for farming and ranching is blessed
2. Getting questions from FB and Youtube is a great way to reach the target audience – the youth

AGO can respond in this way to Garett, the Iraq veteran “working to provide my fellow returning service members with opportunities to join conservation crews to complete restoration and other tasks on our public lands.” AGO by no means focuses only on the young, even though it does include the phrase “especially the young” in its mission statement, “The initiative seeks to reinvigorate our approach to conservation and reconnect Americans, especially young people, with the lands and waters that are used for farming and ranching, hunting and fishing, and for families to spend quality time together.”
Garett, we need and appreciate your energy, your stength, your experience, your wisdom and, most of all, your model of generosity and self-sacrifice for the benefit of society. I’m nearly 68, and my trail rockwork work is just as good and just as needed as that of youngsters one quarter my age.
