Environmental Permitting is Getting Better
It's not that permitting change might happen. It has changed, is changing, and will change more. We’ve had a great collaboration with the team at Inclusive Abundance these last 15 days, hearing about 15 ‘wins’ for permitting reform they wanted to celebrate. We are starting our own 15-day countdown now. It’s a great way to acknowledge all the progress underway to make environmental permitting laws and programs that better serve the planet, people, and our prosperity.
