Terry Mock
Sustainable Land Development Today Newsletter Editor

As discussed in the May SLDT top story People, Planet, & Profit - "Opposition to development is now stronger and more organized, and the obstacles that must be overcome today are larger and more complex than ever... As our population and knowledge base continues to grow, people are becoming more aware of the total impact that humans can have on our natural systems, carbon emissions, non-renewable energy resources, water quality, biodiversity, and many other issues... There is a mega-trend occurring, and industry professionals of all disciplines need to get on the bus... There are a host of emerging technologies, products, perspectives, knowledge assets and other resources necessary to enable professionals throughout the industry to make it happen..."

As a longtime land developer and contributor to SLDT magazine, I am pleased to be able to participate in this cause as the new editor of this monthly newsletter. I welcome the support of other developers, such as Tim Searfoss from Michigan who wrote in with this thoughtful and passionate Reader Response for the July/August SLDT, and said "Your article (People, Planet, & Profit) was the only one I've read anywhere that supported my thinking. I appreciated it." Thank you, Tim.

I know what it feels like to be called an "oxymoron" because you have the audacity to believe that land development can be environmentally sound and socially just, as well as economically rewarding.

Together with SLDT publisher Tony Wernke (The Father of Land Development) and editor Greg Yoko (Industry Advocacy), we are embarking on a noble adventure to assist the land development industry in creating a bold new world in which to live - today, and for future generations to come.

Your participation and comments are welcome.
