Quote:

"I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend?”
                                                                                                                     Robert Redford (1936- )

One of Hollywood’s superstars and a legend in American popular film culture, Robert Redford is not only an actor and producer, but and environmentalist and philanthropist, as well.

Evaluation:

Robert Redford has been a long time supporter of aiding and protecting the environment.  I think he feels that if the United States can spend money on protecting our borders and interest oversees than we can spend money on protecting our own resources, such as trees, water, air and land.  I agree with his point of view, if we don't protect our interest what do we have to defend.
