We cannot afford to allow…

We cannot afford to allow short-sighted development that will compromise our wetlands in a way that will have serious and detrimental effects forever. Without comprehensive, and extensive wetland preservation our groundwater and water systems will be unable to sustain the needs of humans and other creatures into the future. We must be MORE ambitious with our protections, not less, or we are in effect cutting our own throats. Have we learned NOTHING from the effects of the destruction of so many of the original wetlands we have already lost?
