This
week WildLink students were asked to imagine that all of the
country’s wilderness areas were in jeopardy of being developed;
Congress is locked in a tie and the person who will cast the
deciding vote is undecided. Each student has an exclusive audience
with this person in order to sway his/her vote in the direction
they believe is right. What would they say?
To
me wilderness is the only natural place in which peace is created
in between mountains. This place is the really beauty of the
world. When you are in these wild places they give you the feeling
of hope. Try to hike in the snow away from civilization, or
climb a mountain or sit by the river and hear the beautiful
force in which it cries. By doing these things you will realize
how important wilderness is to humans, animals and the earth.
This uncivilized and vivid place needs to be protected by our
government and ourselves. We, the humans are part of wilderness.
Wilderness is like the trunk of a tree; we are one of the branches
of that tree and as so we must protect it. This place is so
quiet and inspiring that in the silence you can hear your own
voice.
