"Not only is disturbingly little Northwest philanthropy devoted to the environment, but almost all of it is targeted to protect the region's forests, grasslands and fisheries. A comparatively trivial amount is spent promoting clean water, healthy air, renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, smart-growth, non-toxic products and processes, recycling and other building blocks of a truly sustainable regional economy." - Denis Hayes, President, Bullitt Foundation (2003 SBLF Foundation Forum) |
