Preservation, Environment, Conservation, And Sustainability
National Parks
Present in 30 states and two U.S. territories, National Parks offer outdoor recreation, education, and tourism while preserving the rich natural and cultural history of America. Central in the conservation of key ecosystems and biodiversity, National Parks provide Americans with an opportunity to learn about and appreciate the beauty of the country.
Introduce legislation or policies to help protect and preserve America’s National Parks. Support existing conservation efforts. Promote education regarding the benefits and opportunities provided by National Parks.
Green Spaces
Not only do green spaces provide access to nature, they also have a profound effect on the surrounding environment. Green spaces help to purify the atmosphere, improve stormwater management to lessen flooding, and even reduce the local air temperature.
Encourage sustainable urban development, emphasizing the importance of the inclusion of green spaces. Additionally, promote education to inform communities about the significance of green spaces for their own health and the health of their neighborhood.
Smart Parks
Smart Parks provide communities with safe, clean outdoor spaces. Utilizing artificial intelligence, threats can be detected and an appropriate response elicited. Smart Parks not only identify and assess criminal activity, but also deter bad actors from even making an appearance.
Construct Smart Parks in neighborhoods and cities across the nation and promote education regarding the benefits that Smart Parks provide for individuals and their communities.
Natural Resources
Natural resources are substances that occur in nature. They can be renewable (water, wind, sunlight), or nonrenewable (fossil fuels and minerals). Renewable natural resources are capable of replenishing quickly and naturally, whereas nonrenewable natural resources can take millions of years to regenerate. Sustainable natural resource practices are necessary for ensuring food and water availability, energy production, and continued economic development.
Adopt the use of renewable energy sources and introduce legislation or policies regarding sustainable farming and fresh water usage.
Wildlife Preservation
Humans share the environment with countless plant and animal species of ecological, cultural, and economic importance. Habitat destruction, wildlife trafficking, and the introduction of invasive species all negatively impact wildlife. From the tiny pollinators that enable farmers to feed America to the epic whales of the sea, the preservation of wildlife is essential for a healthy, sustainable planet Earth.
Promote education regarding the importance of wildlife and lifestyle choices that can help to protect it and encourage the reporting of relevant crimes, such as wildlife trafficking and habitat destruction.
Historic Building And Landmark Preservation
The preservation of historic buildings and landmarks involves the maintenance and restoration of sites, structures, and monuments. These buildings and landmarks traditionally hold a cultural, economic, or architectural significance. The benefits of preserving these locations include community and cultural revitalization, as well as tourism-fueled economic growth.
Increase restoration efforts to preserve history using appropriate materials and methodologies, encourage adaptive reuse, and support existing preservation initiatives.
