In the rural country side it's nice to see the open land, the animals roaming freely. We don't have to tear down land for traveling and can easily preserve many areas with little maintenance but more so participation and better planning as cities and communities within the measures of development. Rather thinking quickest route... perhaps we should understand that it's not always the fastest way to positive outcome and can be the quickest direction to destruction of not only wildlife, but also human life. By being proactive in your own community, city planning, development, etc... many opportunities of growth and development can be made. So be active!
