The Pebble Mine
I am for the pebble mine because of all the stuff that can benefit from it.

The first reason I am for the pebble mine is that you can make more money off of what you mine, then what you make off of the salmon.

The second reason I am for the mine is if we build the mine it will not hurt the ecosystem
And we can move the salmon to a new spot then we can build it where they were or we can make a new spot and put it there and then we don’t have to disturb them.

He does this to get the reader to relate and use their own experience in nature to start a sense of credibility towards what he is writing.…

This assumption is incorrect and in part feeds into the reason why over-fishing occurs.…
