One of the biggest challenges for the Comox Valley Conservation Strategy is to &amp;quot;connect the dots&amp;quot; between conservation, and the many other community challenges such as taxes, aging infrastructure, flooding, quality of life, investment, transportation, that residents, landowners, taxpayers, businesses, farmers, families, political representatives, local government staff, developers, are facing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people think that conservation is an environmental issue, that only concerns environmentalists.  Conservation benefits everyone.  Your blog is helpful in clarifying the need to &amp;quot;connect the dots&amp;quot;  and provides some much needed stimulation on how we might be able to do it...Maybe we need to launch a connect the dots campaign.&lt;br /&gt;David Stapley&lt;br /&gt;Project Manager&lt;br /&gt;Comox Valley Conservation Strategy Community Partnership.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3930945023356724923/7412856714458275257/comments/default/1017627430522165808'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3930945023356724923/7412856714458275257/comments/default/1017627430522165808'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.development-issues.com/2010/12/where-is-sustainability-conversation-in.html?showComment=1291357230545#c1017627430522165808' title=''/><author><name>David Stapley</name><uri>http://www.cvconservationstrategy.org</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.development-issues.com/2010/12/where-is-sustainability-conversation-in.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930945023356724923.post-7412856714458275257' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3930945023356724923/posts/default/7412856714458275257' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1017609781'/></entry></feed>
