We the undersigned strongly request that some immediate action be taken to eliminate Kudzu growth in this country! Driving through states like Florida, Mississippi and Pennsylvania are like driving through a nuclear accident zone. Stately trees standing like ghoulish dead sentinels along roadsides, and the surrounding trees and areas around them a sweeping blanket of green for as far as the eye can see. Deadly green. Killer green. Kudzu green. Moving across the land, taking down everything in its path.
This is a government decision gone terribly bad. Though warned of the pervasive nature of this insidious plant, the governments chose to ignore warnings and planted the vine along roadsides and medians, all in the hopes of eliminating erosion. Now, as more and more trees die from the weight of this menace, erosion is exactly what they are going to get! As less and less tree roots are left to support the earth and drink the water that washes it away, we also lose precious top soils as well as wildlife habitats. The beauty of our country is being robbed from us by the inactivity of our leaders to do anything to stop it.
We ask you to please stop ignoring this ruinous leviathan and immediately put in place some programs for it's hasty demise before all is lost.
