Reading the article Endgame, by Michael Grunwald, was an interesting battle to ultimately conserve the Everglades. Whenever there is talk about the environment and conserving it's usually associated with negativity and a loss of hope. It was nice to read an environmental article with a happy ending. Although the job of conserving and preserving is never a job completed, the battle during Clinton's election for the "A Time to Act" campaign was a prevailing win for Everglades. Although it was hard to keep up with the variety of Senators and activists throughout the reading, there was one man stood out to me the most, Senator Smith. His reputation as a grueling Republican did not suffice with the environmentalist and without giving him a chance they wrote him off and expected nothing from him but disaster. He proved them all wrong and devoted his time and efforts to preserve the Everglades. The best quote that Senator Smith stated was "part of being a conservative is to conserve." All in all, I enjoyed the read about the politics of conserving and how people are so passionate about making sure that our environment stays intact.
