Our environment and economy are inseparable. One of the most promising areas to link these twin goals is environmental technology. Supporting the innovation and use of environmental technology at home and abroad can help put the US on the path towards sustainable development as well as help create American jobs and boost its economy. Already, pollution preventing is one of the fastest growing and most significant segments of the environmental technology industry. For example, green design--taking the environment into account when a product is still on the drawing board--is being developed quickly. Man must marshall his resources to encourage these new technologies and find other ways to make economic development environmentally sustainable. The link between the economy and the environment will not occur by itself. The US must develop new policies to protects its environment, promote economic growth, and foster high-skill, high-wage jobs. Working together, mankind can set the US back on the path toward a better environment and a brighter economic future.
