Our state and nation are blessed with an abundance of natural resources and a healthy environment. However, our natural resources and environment will come under threat if they are not managed in a sustainable manner. Public debate on climate change, water and energy use, production and costs, growth management and other quality of life issues is increasing. South Carolina businesses must be an active participant in public policy decisions related to those issues.
