We recognize the expertise and commitment by other stakeholders toward issues facing Camas as the Home of Earth Day, and look to work collaboratively to make progress on common ground issues. We recognize the need for housing and jobs, but also the needs of clean air, water and land for our survival. They can and must co-exist.
We will strive for this Society to bring all people together for conversation, learn from each other, and take appropriate consensus action. It is keeping the spirit of that first Earth Day Denis Hayes started, and continuing these efforts into the future.
We will work with schools on the Camas/Earth Day Story, as well as our local museums to keep this story living. Making every day Earth in Camas, let’s work together to make decisions considering the impacts to the people, resources, and our deep cultural heritage.
