Land : 37. Reinforce a city-centered concept of urban development by directing growth to areas where infrastructure capacity is available or committed. 38. Support more development activity near major transit lines by increasing allowable intensity of new development and streamlining development review procedures. 39. Institute “full cost” pricing on infrastructure expansion prompted by new development. This will direct potential investment into existing urban areas rather than on new land far from the urban core. 40. Cleanup and redevelop contaminated sites through economic incentives and regulatory flexibility in order to reduce environmental hazards and encourage economic and infill development in older urban areas. 41. Protect open space by transferring the development rights on such land to other portions of the community or region. Air : 42. Mount a campaign, coordinated by a coalition of business, enviromental, community, and civic leaders, to educate the public about the need to shift from large, heavy, gas-guzzling vehicles to more fuel-efficient ones to decrease climate-changing greenhouse gases. Press national leaders to speak out on this issue. 43. Provide and maintain safe, convenient bicycle and pedestrian systems that link residential, commercial and recreational uses and encourage walking rather than driving. 44. Promote energy-and water-efficiency techniques, such as regional rebates, competition and advertising, to encourage consumers to purchase products that protect the environment. 45. Adopt water hookup and monthly usage fees that reflect the real costs of replacing or expanding water supplies. 46. Adopt standards for water and sewer suppliers that establish how much supply and storage capacity should be reserved for existing users before expanding service to new users. 47. Conserve existing water supplies, promote use of reclaimed water, and carefully manage groundwater supplies. In particular, preserve areas with prime soil percolation capabilities and prevent the placement of any possible sources of pollution in such areas. When we walk upon the earth we always plant our feet carefully, because we know the faces of our future generations are looking up at us from beneath the ground. Larry Echohawk, Pawnee Tribe
