Comp Plan Comment to BOCC: KEC Ten Principles
Posted on April 15, 2024Continue readingGood evening. I’m Beverly Parsons from Hansville. I’m co-chair of the Kitsap Environmental Coalition Steering Committee and speaking on their behalf. We deeply value diversity, caring, inclusion, and grounding in our orientation to science.
Earlier today, we submitted comments online outlining ten principles about the preferred land use decision and its implementation.
KEC educates and advocates for safe and clean water, air, and soil to support the health of all life. We focus on the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington. We envision an Ecological and Just County – where all people along with wildlife thrive and are treated justly. Humans are part of nature, not owners of it.
Kitsap Environmental Coalition is a community of people dedicated to healthy lands, water, and habitat. We focus on Kitsap County, Washington, and we partner with people in other counties as they encounter conflicts similar to ones we face.
We educate ourselves and others through in-depth research, public presentations, speakers, films, flyers, letters to the editor, mainstream media coverage, digital social media, newsletters, tabling at farmers markets, and peaceful picketing. To date, we have created a powerful force in our campaign for safe and sustainable forestry practices.
