I have to say, I think that we are so reflexively anti leftist because of their nonsense, that we cede entire issues that should naturally have a Home in conservatism to wackos on the left. I approach nature & the environment from a conservative viewpoint. I hate seeing beautiful rural places eaten up through over development & calling it progress. I like to retain as much nature, trees, open fields & farms as possible. I deplore suburbanization & strip malls & throwing up big, ugly chain stores with no architectural value everywhere. I’m sick to death of watching litter accumulate everywhere. Every time I drive down the street, my eyes are automatically drawn to the litter & I can’t help but wonder why anyone would care so little about beauty & nature & cleanliness. It’s so self-centered & we weren’t raised that way. I’m a conservative. I believe in conservation, but more in line from our own traditional values.
You can be conservative, a conservationist and reject the climate change hoax that only exists to force a socialist agenda. There is nothing wrong with being against pollution. Democrats/progressives/socialists are pigs. Just look towards Pelosi’s district where you have Schiff filled streets. Conservatives, in my experience, always leave spaces better than before. It happens without thought, because it is the natural state of mind for conservatives.
