I do think that, above politics and the economy, the one thing that may be the most difficult to correct will be harm to our planet, harm that may, in some cases, be irrevocable no matter what we do in the future. Mother Nature can only be so forgiving, and while we appreciate the good things she has given us, we must take up the banner of responsibility to treat our surroundings, both flora and fauna alike, with respect. I am glad to be from Oregon which tends to lead the nation in some environmental issues.
