      Great read. Highly informative. New York Times is crushing it with the visuals.

      Bummed that Obama dropped the ball on this. I wonder if he'll come to regret this decision later in life.

      The author really goes for gold in the last two paragraphs.

        Gold. Yes.

        The last two paragraphs ruined the piece.

        We take, and we take still more. What has redeemed us, in part anyway, is that we aspire to be better than who we are.

        Couldn't just leave the facts and awesome visuals alone, huh? The US established the first national park in the 1800's before many states were even established. We also have a huge amount of protected lands for a country of our size.

          I actually was going to Comment that the final two are the Highlight. Lol.

          Oh, Precious Land. Precious Earth. Precious Nature. Precious Being.

      A few weeks later, I'm still thinking about this one. Would make a great article of the day!

        Ha, we had the same idea! I decided to read this last night in order to bump it up in the ranking. So psyched we're not just sorting by comment activity anymore.
