2,214 words (approx. 8.9 pages) | 12 sources | MLA | 2003 United States


Paper Summary:

In 2002, the Bush administration announced the "Healthy Forests Initiative," a plan to reduce the risk of forest fires through logging. This paper critically examines the initiative, its advantages and disadvantages, and the effects it may have on the environment.

From the Paper:

"Our environment and related issues have been of importance throughout recorded history. On a grand scale, countless wars have been fought over environmental concerns, most prominently resources. We depend on our environment for survival; if we destroy it, we have destroyed ourselves. Something so important is of course a matter of great concern to a government that is responsible for its people. Unfortunately, the United States government also has economic concerns. Often these two issues bear significance to each other, but it is rare that the two are reconciled or balanced. More often, one triumphs at the expense of the other."
