Budgets are more than just numbers, they are about setting priorities. With skyrocketing budget deficits, Congress must decide where its priorities lie — what will be funded and what will be cut. The Green Scissors Campaign, and the report that follows, offers a few practical solutions to policymakers that will assist in reducing the federal deficit while simultaneously protecting the environment. These are win-win solutions that benefit taxpayers and the environment; the public and politicians; and provide an invaluable opportunity for decisionmakers to navigate the challenging fiscal and environmental decisions that lie ahead.
