The “world’s most costly” border wall has a projected budget that extends beyond its dollar amount: the environmental and ecological costs.
If the Trump administration pursues a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, “there are species that will be completely extirpated from the United States,” said Sky Island Alliance program director Emily Burns during our recent interview.
Not to mention, the cement needed to create the border wall will require draining “hundreds of thousands of gallons of water that’s very precious down here in the southwest” from sensitive, local sources, she added.

There’s a middle ground that allows us to have the best of both worlds: water and music. Meet BYOBottle.
