This article talks about how there was a bill brought to California, Colorado, and Washington. It was said that “the legislation would add 1.3 million acres of wilderness across the West”.This would be lenient for Trump because he works on developing public land and oil as well. Public land use is currently talked about because of Trump’s new plan to open more land to have more areas for other specific things. This implies that there would be more challenges for the community to help out the environment as a whole.
This is an important article because it talks about how more land does not mean it is always a good idea. It constructs the source of environmental science and how we need to help our air quality and living conditions as a whole. The land is managed for recreation, wildlife, and soil and water quality, but closed to mining and development. The work being done on land causes damages in California and making more acres would ruin what we have now. I agree that the bill did harm, as well as helped out people with their daily needs.
I think this article is really important as well as the fact that more land doesn’t mean more benefit. I think instead of focusing on creating new land for new purposes, the focus should be on bettering the usage of the land we’re using now. Creating and using more environmentally friendly methods.
Thanks for your comment, I totally agree with you. By creating more environmentally friendly we will not be causing damage to our public land that is home to wildlife and our freshwaters. We really have to stay on top of this!
Because of the ever growing population of certain lands there needs to be a certain balance between unused and used lands, but there has to be a limit somewhere, very interesting article Will.
Thank you! Correct, taking land that is being used for habitats without hesitation is not something we should be doing. Balancing out is a fairway for not hurting our environment but there should still be more pre caution before taking up the land for other needs.
