the USA taking up to this issue. California's entrepreneurship in this field is really interesting. Taking the climate change seriously now can be a significant advantage in the future. Think about the high tech investments in renewables, hybrid cars, etc. In this field there will be big demand for high qualified work force and most of it won't be something that can be off shored in the near future. It's an interesting opportunity and it stays in the country. Very important topic is the danger of oil-dependency . Going green would make USA and other states less dependent on unstable regimes in the Middle East. And I would also mention that the climate change can be a great politic agenda. Think of Al Gore and his Inconvenient Truth.
Living history
America's National Park Service oversees an array of parks, forests and conservation areas, plus a number of historic sites. Travelers who want to inject a little history into their summertime adventures will find plenty of options in national parks. These sites are all connected to America's past and stand as important relics of the nation’s history.
In many national and historic parks, visitors will find physical representations of the narrative of the United States. These range from sites that contain remnants of pre-Colombian societies to the battlefields of Revolutionary War, and from the early days of North American exploration to the birth of the modern conservation movement. Nature lovers, history buffs and even those with just a passing curiosity, will find themselves enthralled with these historic places.
