Placer County California Resolution to Limit Growth

July 3rd, 2009 |

Thanks to Wendell Peart for sending me the attached cover letter from the Placer County Board of Supervisors and the resolution adopted by Placer County in 1993 to call on the Federal government to limit growth. You will see in the letter reference to Wendell’s idea of limiting local growth based on available water per person during the last great drought (1928-33). The Drought Safety Standard became part of the Placer County Plan in 1994. This is an excellent example of a strategy for trying to limit local development to sustainable levels.

    it is very much appreciated here in our country to have the family planning and with the use of contraceptives to control the fast increasing of the population. However, uneducated Filipinos must be guided more with these programs because some are not yet aware of the uses of the products. Filipino women also must control their early pregnancies especially the adolescents.It is because the world is now suffering economic crisis. We must consider the status of our lives nowadays and must be practical and wise.
