Environmentalism is best done by private owners.
I’m an “environmentalist” but have no wish to impose it on anyone else. My yard is a jungle by my choice and I love watching the wildlife. On the other hand, I’m watching the wildlife from inside an air conditioned house today.
Agreed!
We generally call that line of thought “conservativism” too. Nature conservation and the love of it is important. I’ve never met a liberal that didn’t want to tear down an established greenbelt to “protect” something.
