The Colorado River has been placed on the endangered rivers list. One of the reasons cited was construction of buildings around the lip of the Grand Canyon. Another case of Greed over Good.

As environmentalists, we have the responsibility to be able to understand causes and consequences. We also have an educational role.
Jungle slash and burn occur because the indigenous population use the area as arable acreage. They barely eek out $100 in annual profits. If taken away from them, they have nothing.
Tree huggers are often the least educated. They get caught up in the fad Du jour, and melt into the population.
Whenever I get the chance I attempt a holistic approach, where everyone wins.
Unfortunately, much eco mis information has damaged our credibility.
Gore as a matter of fact did us far more harm than good.
But we have raised the conscious level of the world.
We are a force I believe.
"All people either eat plants, or something else that eats plants." there are no exceptions.

I hiked the Ravine with my 4 H club when I was like 10 Jen.
It was awesome.
We also picked up trash along the way.
That was awesome too.
How people can be surrounded by beauty and remain that ignorant escapes everyone.
I really think people that visit these shrines to our bio sphere must first attend an orientation class.
There they would learn basic Eco Respects, and how they can be of help, in preservation.
Encouraging people to become part of anything responsible shows them respect.
Heather could be responsible for developing the training syllabae.
She would judiciously avoid Eco Exaggerations destructive to our credibility.
Love of our earth is akin to love of one another.
Earth is our child, whom we must protect, because she loves us as we do her.
You guys make my mind fly.
And I love you for it Jen.
