Parks

Our national parks do not exist to help companies make money. Rather, they exist for our enjoyment and edification, and to preserve their contents for future generations.

Parks should be free from the marketing that assails us in our daily lives. We go to parks for respite, not for further bombardment by marketers.

The National Park Service is proposing to solicit corporations to sponsor our national parks, and to allow corporations to feature that sponsorship in their public relations or advertising campaigns. (Consider the prospect of ads for "Preparation H, the Official Sponsor of the Grand Canyon," or "Nexium, the Official Sponsor of Lassen Volcanic National Park.")
