Protect Minnesota's Future

The Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment

The Minnesota you love is in trouble. 

Our Minnesota can't wait. We're losing more of the state we love every day. Safeguarding the Minnesota you love for future generations will require a substantial investment over the next 25 years. The good news is, we CAN do this.

This amendment is about future generations, and increasing our investment in the future of Minnesota. Minnesotans understand that core values are well worth protecting in our Constitution, especially when future generations rely on our actions today. Acting now to ensure that we properly protect our water, parks, wildlife, and arts and cultural resources for our children and grandchildren is an investment well worth making.

Did you know that if you don't vote on a ballot question, the state automatically counts it as a vote "NO"?

Minnesota is a special place. Our lakes, rivers and streams; forests and wilderness areas; clean air and natural areas are a part of our way of life and who we are. We have a duty to be good stewards of our Great Outdoors: to protect it and restore it so we can pass it on to our children and grandchildren.

To pass Minnesota to future generations in as good or even better shape than we found it, MEP has selected four priority issues for the 2008 legislative session:

Great Outdoors and Heritage Amendment
Clean Energy Minnesota
Transportation Choices 2020
Outdoor Traditions Investment

As Minnesotans, it’s our responsibility to put our values into action and protect our Great Outdoors for all Minnesotans to enjoy today and tomorrow.

Minnesota’s Great Outdoors: Enjoy it. Protect it. Pass it on!
