The words "war" and "environment" are not usually found in the same sentence, unless the phrase "is not helpful for" is in between them. Through this piece, Jordan presents a positive aspect of the military by showing the listener a base’s commitment to preserving the environment. Jordan takes a listener alongside him into the field, with a few experts, to discover some curious horned creatures. Throughout this process, there was a good range of sound that really made me feel as if I was right there alongside him. It felt like being a modern explorer! After listening to this piece, I wanted to find an image of a horned lizard just to see what Jordan was really looking at. The people at this base gain more than just a positive feeling from helping their surroundings. Jordan emphasizes this at the end as he lets the expert's tell how preserving the base's environment has benefited the troops at home.
