I am a grandmother who is having trouble trying to convince my grandchildren that there is a future to look forward to. Who would have thought it could ever get to this point of greed that is robing us of everything. When I was a child we were full of hope and there was no reason not to be hopeful. There was clean water, food and so many opportunities for getting a head in the world. You could find a job, get paid enough to at lease have an apartment and buy food. That is a thing of the past isn't it. Corporate greed is taking all of the tax cuts they get, essentially from us poor stiffs and give it to their executives as bonuses, the workers get nothing or might even loose their jobs to cheaper labour.
If we don't look after our species of which we are one, there will be no us. This thinking of opening up protected land to development, is nothing but short sighted greed. We have to protect the few remaining species we have to keep our overall planet health. I can't keep telling my grandkids that it will be alright, when I highly doubt that. We need to save our water and endangered species, they help keep us alive, we all connect.
Please add more protections, don't take the few that we have, do this for your grandchildren.
Thank you
