Destroying planet
"Opinion" The New Mexican December 14, 1999

Thank you for caring about the little things. The picture by Monika Steinhoff has a message the whole world should listen to. We are destroying this planet. Some of us are like the woman in the birdcage, dancing away, not paying a single bit of attention to what is happening in the world. Pollution, Cattle grazing on the land that was intended for our wild animals and the ranchers being paid for it. The wild animals are all being destroyed in Africa, so we can have more room for people who will buy our medicines and computers, put their forests. Ah, yes, we will make more money. I forgot, that is so much more important then our wild animals. The United States has done more to destroy the environment then anyone else. Big money talks.
