/ #65 Consider the long term

It is our duty, as custodians of the planet, to keep beautiful natural areas intact for future generations to enjoy. Future generations will not thank us if we make short-sighted decisions now.
Of course it is necessary for people to make a living, but, before giving up beautiful and special places for short-term profit, we must consider whether the benefits from such a decision adequately compensate for the long term destruction that will surely follow.

Protests in areas where mining has already begun should alert us to the dangers of such a course.
