North Dakota Access Pipeline
Maria Hernandez
Literally this has been protested for about what, a year? And the government still doesn't listen to what some people say about stopping it. So much for having open minds. Like seriously though just try to compromise and stop killing the planet. And why go through the lake instead of around it? Oh wait I remember, It's going to go through people's houses and the majority of them are white. Like, “Who cares about fresh water that we need, I just don't want pipes under my house or in my backyard!” Have people forgotten what they are taught in school?
But that lake also has significant meaning to people such as a school visitor I met known as Chief Blackfox. Not only are they messing up life in that lake and surrounding it, but also ruining the significance it is for people. The Native Americans would and still do use the lake's water for rituals. Yet it's like people these days love technology more than life.
Like seriously though, who the hell says,“We don't want water to survive. Let's get the oil because we need it!” there are other ways to get the oil and a simple plan to make people agree is to put the freaking pipes around but no, apparently the pikachus know everything and say, “The best thing to do is to put the pipes through the lake!” Not only are the people killing the things around the lake but themselves slowly.
People can argue that the pipe is safe because the oil is inside the pipe, but almost all oil pipes have had a small opening and the smallest amount of oil in the lake can affect all life around it. It won't be long before everyone near that lake will be willing to kill each other for a cup of fresh, clean water. People think it only affects them and no one else yet they don't think of the next generations to come.
So with my final world I will just say, people who want an oil pipeline, stop being stupid and open your eyes to reality for your sake and the sake of the next generations of children to come… that is if you live without clean water.
Anyway, I guess I'll go make coffee or tea and watch America slowly crumble away with Jasmine. Nice of you to actually read this, see ya if you don't drink intoxicated water!
I'm joking, I am actually go protest and stand up for peoples rights and natures as well, don't do nothing and sit, get up and go protest and go make a difference with your voice!
