Major Threats to the Environment

I just finished reading Jimmy Carter's chapter on the threats to our environment. First off, that was really long and I think I fell asleep 12 times. But anyways, I am defanetly agreeing with his side of the story. In one instance, President Carter mention the Alaskan National Forests and the protection they have been recieving for multiple years. In 2000 when G-Dubs was running for President, he said that one of his main focuses was going to be adding and contributing to the number of nationally protected forests. He did follow through with his job, but then apparently forgot about what that job was. Soon after he became large and in charge, he ordered drilling for oil to commence on a protected piece of Alaskan beauty. This in particular made Carter pissed. There would now be loud, animal killing, oil sucking machines in an area where he and his wife shared a strangely romantic moment, when a group of "musk oxen circled around their young to protect them."
