DEP's 2000 Earth Day Poster

DEP presents its 2000 Earth Day poster, "Environmental Progress in Action!" This poster displays the state's environmental heritage time line and population along the margins of the poster. The actual text may be selected below for reading and printing. For a more detailed look at the state's environmental heritage, visit Pennsylvania's Environmental Heritage page.

The outline of the state is filled with individual drawings that convey best management practices and environmental indicators. Best management practices (BMPs) are the current, best scientific and economic ways of doing business. Environmental indicators are signs of conditions that indicate environmental health. Both BMPs and environmental indicators are… measures of the commonwealth's environmental progress. To select and print the poster drawings, choose Printable poster drawings below.
