4. "The Everglades is a test. If we pass it, we may get to keep the planet."

That's where all the economic activity and jobs come from. These biological systems are the sustaining wealth of the world."

10. "The miracle of light pours over the green and brown expanse of saw grass and of water, shining and slow-moving below, the grass and water that is the meaning and the central fact of the Everglades of Florida. It is a river of grass."
