I understand. I’m very concerned with keeping our environment healthy and being a good protector of it.
The problem is that ‘environmentalism’ has been so politicized, and used as an excuse to transfer wealth and weaken successful states like the US, in favor of backward ones.
People here have seen through that dishonesty, and often have a ‘knee-jerk’ reaction to anything labeled as ‘environmental concern’.
We have to stop being as ‘knee-jerk’ as our enemies are, and promote actual science that proves the enemies to be in the wrong.
I agree, the biggest problem I see is the polar extremism on both sides. There really is a middle ground compromise that will work for both sides and the environment too. but both sides refuse to even discuss it. It is all or nothing.
Next spring we are going to work on our 10 acres on the rim of the Grand canyon. But unlike city minded people we are not going to clear cut it. We bought it because we like being among those trees. So we will only clear needed “spots” in between the trees and live with and among them.
I enjoyed talking with you. :) But I have to hit the sack, been a long day and Grandma just got home from being out of town for two weeks beating on Grandkids. Please have a great evening! Maybe we can pick it up again tomorrow. :)
