Tourism And Trees Don’t Get Along
Personal memory by Jelly Morales
1999-2019 • Orlando, FL, USA
Growing up in Orlando, there were theme parks, hotels, and tons of tourists attractions and that was just it. Now, Orlando has been consumed of the fast life and rapid population growth has sparked a movement of wiping out as many trees as possible to make neighborhoods, more hotels, apartments, and town centers. Everywhere you go, you will see a pile of cut down trees and at least 2 acres of what used to be a tall green area, is now brown, flat, and a construction site. I've been seeing less and less trees every 6 months that goes by
