Best of the States

I've chosen this map for two main reasons. Firstly, when one typically looks at a map of the United States its often one covered with roads, names of places, and any number of other facts. This map simplifies the situation and strictly communicates a singular fact about each state, sans even the names. Secondly a majority of the topics delivered about the states relate to their positive contribution to a slew of environmental issues. With these accomplishments contained within each state the potential to spread individual skills laterally could see the US as a multifaceted conservative force in each of its statehoods.
