Why this topic?

There are many topics on which I could have chosen to blog about, and probably ones that would draw many more readers than this one ever will. I believe however, that this topic is largely ignored by the American population as a whole. If this continues, popular places such as the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and Yosemite will slowly fade away and be consumed by multi-billion dollar business corporations such as Wal-Mart; or by huge restaurant franchises such as McDonalds, Dairy Queen, Burger King and so on. As this happens, the one thing Americans have that many other countries do not; and that is the beauty of the natural world will slowly die and resulting in the loss of not only many species of wildlife, but a source of peace, individuality, and inspiration.
