Nature being destroyed in Myrtle Beach

At the rate Myrtle Beach is going and growing, there will not be a tree left anywhere. I would hope developers could build in and around trees to retain some nature and some shade.

The destruction of literally thousands of trees to accommodate growth of developments and commercial property is a tragedy. It is unhealthy for human beings, as well as wildlife and other living things. Developers are laughing all the way to the bank without consideration for the earth and its inhabitants. It's heartbreaking.
