Nature and why we protect it

LOVE

The reason I'm working to build the [world's largest environmental pollution reduction project](http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001nL-hHczmEJa3bKLp1HqsQUPIsHEQUswgZfS_rqRfT-ziYJH9h9xHpVow0sj4g63Yu0oZRhCEtpo9tQ6BNdJhA8OnPm9BilFmTobhpWdym702BZu13poGszSUM5_kBiqKEjQriCQVjIHQ0JqTsUQb7q3gA4Jvo8OvPRW_tEG9oakbfKbTF6C_TO3QMeCSQHgOK_4WOsYHprG2xWu5mx1aISwvYnAVfvmYQmBmHItgj0s=&c=&ch=) and a [machine to protect earth](http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001nL-hHczmEJa3bKLp1HqsQUPIsHEQUswgZfS_rqRfT-ziYJH9h9xHpS70vbXoI6KFNCQYJXOu49WjdocDkHJ_dSUOR2hcc9nvdz7ISqRnG2B_Bw6n9cRBp90ahDgavlmTCrAec7m7H7LAHdfXS7mbhQ==&c=&ch=)is ultimately love. Yes it will require a ton of money, but why would anyone do anything for any ultimate reason other than love?

I refuse to give up on humanity and accept the environmental status quo that says that regulatory mediocrity and our paperwork are enough. We are at the beginning of an environmental renaissance period in an age of artificial intelligence and remote sensing. Soon others will begin to see these new technologies and the new hope and new possibility in the relationship between humans and nature.

HAVE COURAGE. ALL IS WELL.

---“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature—the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”

- Rachel Carson
