He stated the citizens of Dade County have agreed, in the past, to allow funding for specific projects presented to them by government leaders only to see nothing occur. Commissioner Bovo also stated that the state’s inability to follow through with plans previously presented to South Florida residents have created a lack of trust, and that the community needs to be told specifically how the board envisions the funding and construct process of the six future corridors to…

    It was addressed at a convention by Lady Bird Johnson that, “The job really requires thoughtful interrelation of the whole environment… and that, of course, only begins with trees and flowers and landscaping.” Claudia Alta Taylor, mostly known by her nickname Lady Bird, always had wonderful encounters with nature. As a little girl, she was very lonely in her time of play. Because she had no one to associate with, Lady Bird would often go into the forest to smell the aroma of the daffodils and enjoy the sweet sounds of nature. This made her feel at peace (Woo). Many years later, gardening became one of her favorite hobbies to do. She always managed to keep her gardens up to par by planting many flowers, numerous trees, and other crops (Bergeron). These…

    Cited: in Forest Dispute,” New York Times, 4/12/1964, p.86). This quote from the governor depicts the struggle between the environmentalists and loggers. It shows how people are so willing so cut down anything in there path just to get from point A to point B faster. If we just keep letting this happen who will stop them before our state becomes bald. But even while this is going there is some good starting to pear its way through. Regulations start coming into effect such as the one in this article “When the senate committee that is studying the national problem of reforestation reaches California in September, it will find that the lumbermen of one of the most heavily timbered districts in the United States are committed to reforestation of their lands as they are cut over and the adoption of a policy of permanent lumbering operations” (“Permanent Lumbering,” New York Times, 715/1923, p.RE2). With this policy in effect it became better known to at least better to plant a tree to replace the one you cut down. But it is still not good enough since it takes a very long time for a tree to grow back to what it once was. Also there have been state parks created to help preserve some of the trees in our state.…
