For long lasting sustainable development, proper management of natural resources is a must. Economic prosperity will not last and will decline if people do not have access to a clean environment and unpolluted water and air. The state of Texas, home to the second largest population in the U.S is one such city, which would have fallen into an intractable urban mess, if likeminded people hadnât stepped in to affect a change.
The Houston as we see today has gone much forward and is now a teeming city full of contented people from all walks of life. The vast open spaces, parks and other recreational facilities have made life much better. The trees planted on the sides of the roads not only provide cool atmosphere to those walking on the footpaths, but also has helped to keep the carbon dioxide levels down.
An umbrella group of various organizations came together under a visionary several years ago to improve the quality of life in the Houston area. One of the other areas that they decided to work was to keep the city clean from billboards and signposts, which has become an eyesore and a health hazard if not removed on time. The real beauty of the city actually got hidden under the numerous signposts and other advertisement graffiti.
Consistent efforts by Dick Weekley, who was not only the founder of a leading real estate brokerage firm but also associated with a leading watchdog, the Texans for Public Justice (TPJ), helped to focus public opinion on this key issue. Even though there have been discordant voices in the beginning, the message got effectively conveyed to the masses. People became much interested in the issue and the vigilant public and the civic authorities brought about a sea change in the scenery in the city. hilarious
