FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







_NO.22_
_MILITARY SPENDING AND THE ENVIRONMENT_





It is increasingly evident that global environmental issues such as the greenhouse effect, desertification, ozone depletion, acid rain, and tropical deforestation are major threats to our longtime national security.

Worldwide, $2.5 billion dollars are spent daily on military programs, many of which are environmentally harmful.  At the same time solutions to critical environmental issues remain unfunded.

The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs calls on Congress to stop unnecessary and ill-advised military spending and redirect these funds toward solving regional, national, and global environmental problems.
