It’s not about the environment, it’s about control. Social psychology and psy-ops are the means of controlling the sheople. Recycling was the test study.
I hate litter and I do agree with keeping things clean and safe (will never visit China or India) and not wasting resources because this is my Father’s world, but I also love fireplaces and coal and wood stoves and log homes. While I love the mountains and mountaintop mining makes me sick to see, if a couple of mountains help people, go for it. Just make it a beautiful site before you leave including more trees.
