The U.S. just changed how it manages a tenth of its land
wapo.st
The Interior Department finalized a rule that puts conservation on equal footing with mining, grazing and drilling on public lands across the country.

    Crazy how it could have ever been less than that…

    This model is wrong:

    model with 3 circles for economic, social and ecological actions, they cross and the intercept is "sustainability"

    That one is nearer to the truth:

    model showing 3 circles inside each other. Environment holds society, which holds the economy.

    This is great news, I was always frustrated that the mining and logging industries had seemingly free reign of the national forests but I was always restricted in where I could ride my motorcycle and camp. I don’t expect that this will change where I can ride/camp but at least it might feel more fair.
