Another issue to consider is that of natural habitats. Cutting a forest down, or digging a prairie up, to build a resort means the local ecosystem has been destroyed, impacting animals, air, water, and even future vegetation. Building a hotel in the middle of the desert causes resources that aren't naturally there to be piped in, again changing the environment. These changes impact not only the local environment, but even the worldwide environment. Can we afford to keep doing that?
