The White House Council on Environmental Quality advises the Clinton-Gore administration on how to achieve sustainable development in U.S. communities by keeping a balance between economic growth and environmental protection. Rather than having to choose one or the other, the council argues that they can be mutually reinforcing.
For far too long, many believed that a strong economy and a healthy environment were incompatible goals. All around the world, people accepted dirty water, smoggy skies, and degraded lands as the price of progress.
Under the leadership of President Clinton and Vice President Gore, America has demonstrated that this notion is not only outmoded but plain wrong that, in fact, economic growth and environmental protection can and must go hand in hand. Today, even as we enjoy the longest economic expansion in our nation’s history, we have the cleanest environment in a generation, and we are making significant new investments to ensure an even healthier environment for our children.
The essential interconnectedness of our environment and our economy is nowhere more important than in our cities. Historically, cities grew and prospered where geography, climate, and other natural assets were most favorable. Cities can continue to thrive only by safeguarding the natural resources that are the bases of both their economies and their quality of life.
Across America, cities struggle each day with issues ranging from air pollution and traffic congestion to sprawl and the loss of open space. In each of these areas, the Clinton-Gore Administration is working hard to help communities and their leaders work out local solutions that both enhance the economy and protect the environment. We are helping to build strong, healthy, livable cities where future generations do not feel they must choose between a healthy environment and a strong economy, but understand that without one, we can not have the other.
