Preserving Virginia’s Natural Beauty
ACVDN
"I've spent my life protecting our environment and preserving our precious natural resources. We have a duty to ensure that future generations can enjoy clean air, clean water, and the beauty of Virginia's outdoors." -Senator R Creigh Deeds
From his experiences at Douthat State Park-where he was a summer ranger in his youth-to his fight to clean up the Kim-Stan Landfill, Senator Deeds has been a leader in preserving the environment. He believes that we all have a responsibility to be good stewards of our natural resources and that we need to address the fundamental moral issue of our generation: the pollution of our air and water and destruction of our climate.
Senator Deeds' environmental priorities are clear: preserve our environment, provide incentives for home and business owners who conserve energy, and invest in a greener future. Virginia can lead the way to an energy independent America, but only if our next Governor has the experience and vision to deliver results.
In 1999, when Virginia ranked last in the nation in per capita expenditures for natural resources, Senator Deeds led the way in preserving Virginia for future generations. That year Deeds wrote and passed Virginia's land preservation tax credit program-one of the most progressive environmental protection laws in the country. Since its passage, more than 100,000 acres have been preserved.
The land preservation tax credit program continues to help preserve Virginia's natural beauty. The program has even helped Governor Kaine towards his goal of preserving 400,000 acres by 2010.
