Read the passage from a letter that President Jimmy
Carter wrote to Congress in 1977.
This message brings together a great variety of
programs. It deals not only with ways to preserve the
wilderness, wildlife, and natural and historical resources
which are a beautiful and valued part of America's
national heritage: it deals also with the effects of
pollution, toxic chemicals, and the damage caused by
the demand for energy. Each of these concerns, in its
own way, affects the environment; and together they
underscore the importance of environmental protection
in all our lives.
