This quote is a very true statement. I have been to many national parks such as Yosemite, Yellowstone, and many others. National Parks are to be persevered and not destroyed by airports and other tourist places. The same should go for the Everglades. It is a different kind of National Park, it is unique and should be treated like the other Parks around the country. Most of Florida has been developed so we should keep the Everglades preserved. It is an important aspect in what makes Florida its own state. It is also important to a lot of wildlife because it is their habitat.

"Restoring the Everglades would preserve aquifers and promote ecotourism, but Graham really wanted to restore the Everglades because it was singular, because it distinguished south Florida from other sprawling concatenations of tract homes, strip malls, CVS, and KFC.(Grunwald, P.99)"
Helping preserve the Everglades is very important for animals along as us. It also helps preserve the aquifers. This is important to our water supplies. It is also important to preserve the land because animals live thrive there and people are building to many strip malls everywhere. There is no need to have a CVS and Walgreens on every corner. It is important to help save our environment so we can continue living and not destroy our world. Today many people are not focused on the environment because they are focused on electronics and what is the next in item to buy. No one focus on how important it is to preserve the environment especially the Everglades.
"It was too late to change the Nader votes of South Florida's environmentalists, but the Everglades had dodged another bullet. It was a reminder that money doesn't always talk. People talk, too.(Grunwald, P.101)"
This is one of the biggest problems the environment faces today, money. Money is the only thing that seems to talk today. Even how FGCU was built is a perfect example of how money talks over the concerns for the environment. Also, politics can be a major issue with the environment because it is not for what is the best. People need to take a step back and focus on the big picture how important we need to preserve the environment. Money is the only drive for most people today. The environment is over looked because we do not think it is going anywhere. Money should not be the only focus in life.
