Dear next president, 

my name is eli johnson and i firmly believe conserving the enviornment is a critical part of the next four years of our country's future. Protecting the earth should not be optional. As the world's largest carbon emitter a figurative fire should be under us to change that. A disbelief in global warming isn't an excuse to continue polluting our air and water when everyone, especially children are being poisoned. The Flint water situation should be reason enough. North Dakota's people, land and animals are being threatened and it shouldn't even be a debate. The lives and future of the people in our country is more important than the oil industry's or big company's wellbeing. Sincerely, Eli
