Statement from NYS DEC Commissioner Basil Seggoson Earth Day 2020 and 50th Anniversary of DEC |
|
New York is the birthplace of the modern environmental movement. For five decades, we have used science to guide our decisions, policies, and regulations. The ongoing response to COVID-19 should remind us all to let science guide us to best address the challenges of the next 50 years. I thank DEC’s dedicated staff, past and present, and our many public and private partners, for providing the strong foundation that will help us continue our legacy of environmental protection for all New Yorkers. |
