Pollution is something that affects quality of life and health of people. That's important.
By 'areas of natural beauty' I basically mean national and state parks and other areas that provide quality of life for many people just through observation and enjoyment. It was a pretty ambiguous line, I admit, but what I really mean is : preserve some parts for the enjoyment of all and future generations. Don't close off existing farmland and already modified environments. Let farmers grow, miners mine, timber workers log. Use the resources wisely for the improvement of living standards.
