Read the quote from John Muir, founder of the Sierra
Club.
What is the main point Muir is trying to make?
Government protection should be thrown around every
wild grove and forest on the mountains, as it is around
every private orchard, and the trees in public parks. To
say nothing of their value as fountains of timber, they
are worth infinitely more than all the gardens and parks
of towns.
O Every part of the environment is important and
needs protection
The government needs to protect national forests on
a wider scale.
O Public parks and towns need to be beautified with
trees and gardens.
O National forests should be treated like a resource for
businesses to exploit.
