I began this project to try and solve the environmental predicament of National Parks, whether or not they promoted environmental sustainability. In doing so, I stumbled upon an even larger issue of our environmentally damaging relationship with nature in general. It was a thought provoking roller coaster ride of feeling love and disappointment toward National Parks. But, in the end, I've come to the conclusion that National Parks are something to be loved and supported. They come with some problems, but then again, what doesn't. What matters it the fact that they are little problems that can be compensated for by the benefits they provide and through little tweaks in their interpretative programs.
So I encourage all of you to visit a National Park. Winter break is soon upon us, giving you all the time necessary to take a trip to a National Park and take in the joys of the exquisite environment. Go, have a merry time, and let the parks trigger or re-kindle your love for the environment. If you all need more motivation, then I suggest you to look at these beautiful photos because you can see these in REAL LIFE if you went. And believe me, they are much more aesthetic than the photos make them out to be.
