Like the once-pristine environments shown below? Some of us are old enough to remember singing "America, The Beautiful" long before these ugly monstrosities destroyed pristine environments all across the land:
O beautiful for spacious skies,
for amber waves of grain;
for purple mountain majesties
above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed his grace on thee,
and crown thy good with brotherhood
from sea to shining sea.
