Researchers, tribes, residents prepare for a century of sediment released from the Klamath dams

There wil always be a price to pay for changing nature and the environment. Mankind has adjusted the environment to fit its needs since we were expelled from Eden for being idiots.
I am a hunter, a fisherman, an outdoorsman, and a staunch environmentalist. That Sediment needs to be filtered and treated carefully.
I am all in favor of returning as much of the country as is practicable to its natural state.
I paid attention one evening coming home from work. I live in a really rural area, because my grandfather was the most awesome man God ever put life into. He bought land that had been in our family and had been sold when he was a child, and left it to me because as he put it, I would spend my entire life in the Army and he wanted me to have a home to come home to. I have not cut one tree.
But I did drive 51 miles to work and 51 miles home each day. One evening, I noticed that there were 12 places between where I worked and where I live where I could purchase 2x4 Lumber, most Lowes and Home Depot... across the street from each other ( I guess so I could purchase the same stuff without having to make a left turn off the road.) There were 5 Wal-Mart shopping centers, and don't ask how many Dollar Generals. I quit because No one should drive 50K miles a year for work, and be honest, how many of us are going to say when we die; I wish I had worked more."
Pavement does not make Oxygen. Parking lots produce HAZMAT runoff to creeks and ponds.
Maybe we should all be willing to drive a bit further, or use a small local business rather than a huge chain, or ask our local government to say "NO' to cutting down our remaining wood and farmlands to put in yet another shopping center or warehouse rather than refurbishing existing construction.
I love hunting, and fishing and being outdoors, and I pray that God will wake us up to the fact that we can never make it better than He did.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel thanks for the share.
