The constant human destruction of this planet is just amazing. Few countries are serious about climate problems. We are racing Russia and China to mine metals on the moon. Thousands of jet planes fly people daily for frivolous reasons. Space tourism is about to get under way. Scientists say there had been five extinctions, all natural, and that we are way into the sixth, strictly human created. Being a painter of wildlife I am fed up with seeing the needless loss of habitat and wildlife. I’m tired of seeing mega homes appearing with long views cut, only to be weekend homes. Now there is going to be a massive butchering of habitat on the west side of Sugarloaf Mountain, just to enrich a few people. What good is the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, when it approves this disaster? ~ Dwight Mills, Greenwood
