I would hope that all people who seek and find some spiritual solace in the natural world become fierce environmentalists because we're seeing the destruction of the planet proceed all around us. Stewardship is a lesson we all need to learn and practice if our children and grandchildren are to have even a fraction of the experience we benefited from in our youth. The book of Genesis is the perfect story for the trajectory of our history on the planet. We had every thing we needed, and all of it was renewable. Our accumulated knowledge gives us great power but very little wisdom. We're banishing ourselves. Hopefully, we can undo some of our big mistakes or at least lessen their effects.
But that isnt what Im seeing, Bill.
I see eagles, and I see hawks. Coyotes, deer, and turkeys are common now, I saw few or none when I was a kid. The city has put aside land called open spaces, and manages them for use by residents. DDT is gone, and entire classes of industrial chemicals are no longer produced, much less used. This is an area 15 minutes from either downtown of two major American cities, Bill. Im seeing record low temperatures and being told the planet will overheat and melt in a decade, unless I give up more of my income, and buy an electric truck of some sort. It you follow the stream from start to finish, you discover said electric vehicle pollutes more than an internal combustion vehicle, it just moves where the pollution happens.
We had a post that was relating one mans feelings of his time spent outdoors, and another man, if I can call you that, interjects a bunch of political nonsense into it. You have frequently complained about others that do so, and I would encourage you to run around shouting the sky is falling somewhere else, as you viewpoint is unrelated to the discussion at hand, regardless of what you believe. This was a post that transcended political crap, until you showed up.
You are a leftist a$$hole, Bill. Beat it.
Best,
Ted
