We need to transition to a more sustainable and equitable future that preserves our natural heritage and respects the rights of all people.
As John Echohawk, the Executive Director of the Native American Rights Fund, states, “The Willow Project is a prime example of the tension between the need for economic development and the need to preserve the natural and cultural resources on which indigenous communities depend. It’s time to choose people over profit.”
In conclusion, the Willow Project is a short-sighted and irresponsible prospect that threatens Alaska’s natural beauty and wildlife, exacerbates climate change, and undermines our efforts to transition to a clean energy future. It is time to prioritize the long-term health and welfare of our planet and its people over the short-term gains of corporations.Laghima Pal is a student at Cumberland Valley and a former intern with PennLive and The World Affairs Council of Harrisburg.
