I didn't grow in the heart of a city that never sleeps, or in the
middle of an historic neighborhood that defined the counterculture.
I grew up in a place where natural beauty and wonder are taken for granted, and seeing this from where I live I was able to notice
this as I got older and started to travel around California. Mr.
President, this is more than a fight for aesthetic beauty, this is a
fight for our future. We are risking millions of years of
prosperous living for our own convenience that won't last for
another 50 years. Destroying the very thing that we need to survive is totally backwards and will not take us anywhere. Destroying our nature will push us faster towards air, water, and land pollution, and create an imbalance in our biodiversity which is vital to our ecosystem. The thing I want you to remember is this: nature isn't something you visit a few weeks out of the year, it's something that happens all around us, everywhere all the time. If it's destroyed we will be nothing but shadows not of what we used to be, but of regret we cant take back.
