i love america.
i love every tree in every forest. i love every hill and every mountain. i love the plains and the canyons. i love the rivers and the lakes and the swamps. i love every rock formation and every pebble. i love every little creature that call this place their home. i truly cannot understand how someone could see our unique and diverse natural landscapes and not be filled with awe and joy, how they could see it and feel the need to destroy it.
if you weren’t aware, thousands of national parks workers were abruptly fired earlier this week. i have only had the chance to visit a couple, but if it weren’t for the rangers i would’ve had to hike five miles on a broken ankle, and that’s the least that they can do. these are not just people in silly hats they are the first line of defense for both the parks and the parks visitors — this will both impact both people and planet.
but trump and his goonies don’t care about that. they say “drill baby drill” and ignore science. they ignore the people in southern appalachia who are still recovering from helene. they ignore the scar they left on the earth from the relentless bombing in gaza. they don’t care about anything but money.
i’m begging you to care about national parks. i am begging you to care about our planet.
