It has long been the case that such decisions have environmental implications, but only recently has much attention been given to the environmental impacts of consumer choices.

News from Steve Gibbs:  The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is currently conducting an on-line opinion survey of family forest owners to help them better communicate with, and assist, them regarding programs like the Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP).  The survey is very brief and shouldn't take more than a couple minutes of your time.

 

Please take advantage of this opportunity to share your opinions.
