ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Dave Foreman, a self-proclaimed eco-warrior who was a prominent member of the radical environmentalism movement and a co-founder of Earth First!, has died. He was 74.

The New Mexico-based Rewilding Institute, which Foreman founded as a think tank to develop long-term land conservation plans, said on its website that he died peacefully at his home in Albuquerque on Monday.

A cause of death wasn’t immediately released, but friends of Foreman said he had battled a lung illness for several months.

“There will never be another like him. One of the greatest conservationists ever,” the institute said. “He is sorely missed by so many as a dear friend, leader, and mentor.”

I think he died from chestnut blight.

Yes, I know this is speculation, but a lung illness? My guess is he got Covid despite having all the “vaccinations” and “boosters.” That’s because they were willing to say lung illness but not cancer or TB or any of the other “lung illnesses” it would be so easy to name. Covid often presents as a lung illness. Why are people on the left still protecting the vaccinations as legitimate? (Even when it’s the left dying from them.)

I put 2 and 2 together. The title of the article says he was a co-founder of Earth First, and in the youtube video it starts saying those people are members of Earth First at the 15 second mark.

“Geez. The planet outlived him.”

And his kids and grand kids.

Never mind, those types don’t have kids, they have ‘higher priorities’.

Ah, I never remember listening to that, it was scrubbed clean by the otherworldly weirdness of what followed...

I suspect he thinks the sulphur he smells is from pollution causing Gorebull warming.

Exactly—dying successfully reduced his carbon footprint to zero.

If some more environmentalists joined him we could save the planet!

May he compost quickly and finally become useful in some landscape setting.

I wonder if there will be an official urinal at his grave or will it just be left up to the person who wants to make a tribute to his memory as to where to place the tribute.
