Does everything in the Big Outside have to be a "resource?"

No, not at all. Why, then, does the revenue from the sale of motor vehicle license plates (in Pennsylvania) go into a pot known as the "Wild Resources Conservation Fund?"
This is especially egregious because it is the automobile, and our society's century-old addition to it, that has destroyed so much of Wild Nature (and continues to).
Go a hearty walk.
Burn some calories, not gasoline.
