Discuss the positive efforts of community members to protect the declining salmon population and express support for this cause. Also, argue against supporting the Pebble project due to its potential negative impact on the environment and sustainability of salmon as a resource.
I am glad to read positive news and efforts of active members in our community working toward a common good against an evident evil. Salmon is one of our most important resources in the state and among one of our main exports; the declining population poses a threat to thousands of already established jobs (more jobs than Pebble will produce), along with communities that rely on them for their subsistance. Supporting a project such as Pebble is a very stupid move: copper prices are declining, when the minerals are extracted from the soil it will be barren... whereas salmon is a sustainable resource, if taken care properly it will keep on returning for our nourishment. There is no way around it: this proposal is good for the community, good for the environment, its action like this that is what we need to thrive as a society.
