One can be a conservative and have concern about environmental conditions at the same time (for instance, on water pollution).

When it started it was called conservation. We were conserving the environment for future generations. That is what conservatism is all about. Using the wisdom of the past, to help preserve the wisdom of the future. Basically stated as; your parents were right about a lot of stuff. The conservation movement got hijacked however by political and money interests. Like Rush always says, who wants to breath dirty air ?

“When it started it was called conservation.”

When it was started the communists were deeply embedded in it.
