“If we don’t save the Everglades, its hard to imagine what we can save,” said Michael Grunwald.
The Everglades is one of the largest national parks in the United States. It is rare to find a massive area of land that has been kept in its original condition and not transformed into some potential profit by humans. We are lucky that the Everglades only has a couple interstate roads built over its lands and not developed into a multi billion dollar theme park or other creation.
We must “save the planet to save ourselves” said Grunwald. “The environment is the economy.”
If we do not support our Earth, our “environment”, then our “economy” will then fall due to self-destruction. In the overall scheme of things, we are either helping or killing ourselves along with future generations to come.
“A new era of ecosystem restoration; a new era of conservation to fix the mistakes of the 21st century.”
The Everglades holds so many species of animals and so much wildlife it would be like killing off an entire country equal to the population of China. We need to preserve our lands and let the world know how valuable each acre is.
Truman and Clinton both fought to save the Everglades and realize that even though saving a massive area is a great accomplishment, it is only the start to a long journey that lies ahead. Global warming needs to be solved still; there needs to be a surrender to harming of Earth and the sooner we stop living in denial and start helping to save ourselves the better.
