I'm in your camp, I think. We were given stewardship of the Earth, to use it and care for it wisely. I can't see the care part going against conservative grain. How could it? I think this is an area of interest and concern for many (compassionate) conservatives that we've handed to liberals, and they use it against us. I'm interested in the replies, too.
I agree. I think that Republicans could take up envionmental issues such as these and actually win votes, because I think alot of people feel this way. The majority of people do not support the radical agenda of many left wing environmentalist groups, but there are issues that I do believe many people believe in and would support.
