A guide to making a difference in assisting the planet's environmental well-being

Creating The National Environmental Master Plan--2006 by civil engineer and environmental activist John M. Tettemer is an informed and informative descriptive study of the steps to be taken in a short time if we are to salvage and protect the environment through sound public policy and scientifically appropriate initiatives in reversing the negligent American mentality toward the natural world. Introducing readers to a planned ten-step approach to taking action and pursuing environmental protection goals, Creating The National Environmental Master Plan--2006 comprehensively presents an analysis and "reader friendly" understanding of what might most ably help realize environmental goals through cooperatively developing new national, state, and regional pro-planning practices for precisely mapping the course of future environmental initiatives. Very strongly recommended for environmental activists and policy makers searching for a guide to making a difference in assisting the planet's environmental well-being, Creating The National Environmental Master Plan--2006 is a welcome and core addition to personal, professional, and academic library Environmental Studies reference collections.

Boots on the ground and wings in the air for high level thinking

You sense Tettemer's credibility as he invites you along on a field trip down a brushy creek or points out drainage features from a helicopter. He's been there and knows what he sees. He combines down-to-earth common sense with a lifetime of practical experience in resolving regional multi-disciplinary problems of water, habitat, pollution control and land use. Always there is tension. Always, when he was invited in to help, there was confrontation. Usually, battle lines had been drawn years before and the factions were solidly entrenched. His specialty is to rise above, take a broader view, and invent a solution that improves the position of each warring group. The groups become cooperators implementing the plan. In this book he applies these experiences to the ensnarling mess of conflicting environmental and land use regulations that confront land developers and governmental regulatory agencies. He's seen it work at the regional level. It's time that elected officials insist on applying his approach at the national level.
