There are many important environmental issues, including some that receive considerable attention, like global warming and energy conservation, and others that receive far too little attention, like overpopulation and meat consumption. However, these issues are not why I joined The Wilderness Society. I joined it to help support the creation of additional, federally-designated, wilderness areas. The Society should focus its energy on identifying lands that qualify for wilderness protection and on gaining support for their designation. Please don't be distracted from this mission which is so uniquely part of your history.
