Quote by Jared Diamond
Federal elections happen every two years in this country. Presidential elections every four years. And four years just isn't long enough to dismantle all the environmental laws we've got in this country.
Summary
This quote suggests that despite the frequency of federal elections every two years and presidential elections every four, the allocated time frame is not enough to completely repeal the existing environmental laws in the country. It implies that environmental regulations have been implemented over time, and the limited term of four years for a presidency is insufficient to dismantle all the established laws aimed at protecting the environment. The quote highlights the need for sustained efforts to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of environmental protection measures.
