7th Generation Environmental Policies Vermont is as beautiful and precious a natural environment as I know. The land, water and sky are essential to Vermont and Vermonters ...and keeping them clean and sustainable for us and right on down to the 7th generation to come ,is our collective responsibility. I join the many Vermonters who work tirelessly to sustain our natural environment.I support the efforts of people seeking sustainable practices with an eye on how our actions affect future generations. I especially laud the efforts of Rep.David Deen and his long term efforts to clean up Vermonts waters , most especially the Connecticiut River For more information on current efforts , and how you can help, you can visit;
