Terrifying/Inspiring Thought of the Week
Hyperion - The Tallest Tree in the World
The world’s tallest living tree, a 600 - 800-year-old Redwood named Hyperion, is now off-limits to visitors. People who attempt to see the tree could face fines of $5,000 or up to six months in jail for damaging the fragile ecosystem around the tree.
The National Parks Service rule is an effort to preserve the ecosystem around Hyperion to protect it from destruction.
More of this, please.
Can we … kind of … maybe … do the same thing with … you know … the ecosystem of … Earth?
