“WTH is a conservationalist?
It’s someone who likes to talk about conservation.”
There is a guy at work who claims to be studying environmental engineering. He said the same thing that he was a conservationalist. I said what is so hard about recyling stuff you don’t need anymore and making sure you turn the lights out when you leave a room? He said, its much more than that. He said what if there was oil found on your property, would you let them drill for it there. I said of course I would, sounds like a great way for me to make a lot of money. He looked really upset, and started talking about how “flames would be coming out of my facets, and it is stupiest thing I could do, and its irresponsible.” I said, I would use my profits to move somewhere else.
