As reported in Treehugger:
57,000 New Jobs Could Be Created in US National Parks
With the economy foundering at the moment, it’s not surprising that many people are proposing projects to the incoming Obama administration that will create new jobs and benefit the economy as a whole. A new report from the National Parks Conservation Association does its part for promoting reinvestment in the US National Parks system as another worthy area for green investment.
The report says that they are $2.5 billion worth of job-creating projects in the National Parks, and furthermore that for every dollar invested there it could bring back four dollars in value to the public. …
Certainly spending money on infrastructure is a good strategy for economic recovery over the coming years.
I’d be thrilled if building up the National Parks infrastructure is part of that. In the USA and around the world.

Next … we need to convince State governments to invest in State Parks. Florida, for example.
