"Happy Earth Day!" ...although as Melanie's expression shows, it is hard to see that reflected in any of our current governmental actions. Protecting and conserving a precious resource is NOT about extraction or energy dominance. It is making a mockery of serious things to say that our safety as a nation cannot also be accomplished without developing every last mineral resource in our country. "Harm" as a term being bandied about in a re-imagining of the Endangered Species act most DEFINITELY relates to preserving a life-sustaining habitat and not just whether or not you are actively hunting or trapping or seeking to "take" a species. Think about that this Earth Day. Think about a future beyond your own singular life and time of existence on this planet.
