Kay Brothers: "Environmental issues" are no longer dirty words

I think that a lot is changing, I think that you should have hope. As David said, it's changed dramatically within 10 years. If you look at the Lower Colorado River basin, it is changing because of the multi-species habitat conservation plans, but what is really changing is the attitude the people have now. Environmental issues are no longer a dirty word at the Colorado River Water Users Association and we talk about environmental issues. The whole thought and culture of the lower basin and of some of the western water issues are changing. Species, environmental species are an issue, Indian rights are an issue -- they are being talked about, they are being recognized, they are being put up as issues that have to be solved. That is a huge change, that's a huge positive change.
