Hmm… that’s a great idea! I’ll bet they’re on there somewhere. I’ll consider this when I have more time!

So Nick – what do you say we come up with a questionaire that perforce frames these issues more honestly and optimistically…. Can we get our hands on the poll questions?

This is a clear example of why journalists, just like consumers, landowners, businesses and government officials, need to be educated in the economic, health and quality of life benefits of sustainability. As the ones getting the message out to the masses, it is especially important that we help our friends in the traditional media get past these old habits and get environmental issues right (that the environmental issue is not just about protecting some spotted owl or distant wilderness that few are never going to see – it is about protecting the health of our economy, our public health, our national security, and our overall quality of life).
That is why we have just established the beginnings of a sustainability “Resources for Journalists & Media Represenatitives” page in our education and outreach section at Conservation Value. Please do send us your favorite media resources and stories about communicating environmental issues to be posted over there.
Happy Earth Day and keep up the great work 3P and 3P readers!

If you look at the performance of the Dow over the same time, you’ll see that the dip in enivronmental priority matches up with the drop in stock prices. I’m glad the Dow hit a six year high today :-)
