I personally have a little bit hard time to finish the reading because the repetition of text, but I found Cronon’s point really interesting and fascinating. Like Naya, I fond the connection between w ...

I am going to answer Mingwei’s question first, I do not think human protecting nature is unnatural. In the reading, I really agree what Pollan is saying about nature. He says that “human choice is unn ...

Same as Elie, I do not think money should be the priority when we talk about national parks. I think it is more important to preserve nature than to attract turists. But, at the same time, it makes me ...

To respond to Emily's question, although I am not pretty sure, I would guess it would be the state government who would pay for the public water system. This is totally a guess. If I am wrong please c ...

After reading all the posts, I really agreed with what everyone has been talking about. I have not finished the reading, yet, so I might not be able to answer some of the questions.

I have to say, I really agree with both GyoungHeui and Naya o ...
