Current land use and transportation trends, coupled with increasing consumption of vital resource lands, are undermining 30 years of environmental progress and threatening the quality of the air, water, land and living resources in the Mid-Atlantic Region. To educate the public about these trends, the EPA has developed a Trends and Solutions Series. The Series is a comprehensive, data-driven, visual presentation of the forces behind sprawl development, consumption of vital resource lands, and unsustainable transportation trends in the Mid-Atlantic Region. The Series also includes trends in quality of life, economic data, and showcases solutions to current land use problems. For the past three years, the EPA Region III's Center for Sustainability has been developing and presenting the Series, which has been viewed by over 1000 people, including government officials, students, and non-profit organizations. The two goals of the Series are: 1) to concretely link air, water, land pollution, and loss of habitat with current land use practices, and 2) to promote better land use decision-making by local governments and citizens by visually demonstrating land use strategies, which can protect the land, air, and water, promote healthy communities, and advance a sustainable economy.
