| Over the years
FCWC has been a crucial instrument for effecting positive
environmental action in the county legislature.

FCWC
has had a role for many years as the environmental watchdog
for the county, ready to step in and advocate for the environment
on a host of environmental issues as they come to the fore.
As described in these pages, in 2002 FCWC has taken a leadership
role on certain issues and worked in cooperation with other
groups on other issues. Protecting our environment has been
FCWC’s priority over the last 36 years as it has fought
for our natural resources: our air, our water and our land.

representatives attend and monitor numerous meetings of both
the legislative and executive branches of county government.
Such monitoring keeps the environmental agenda foremost in the
minds of the decision makers, enables FCWC to take prompt action
and to alert other members of the environmental community of
actions by the various branches of county government on matters
of interest to them. |

“The constant presence
of an FCWC representative at environment committee meetings
helps to keep us informed as to the views of the environmental
community.”

and Member of the Environment And Health Committee |
