The entire "environmental" movement has me confused. They say they want a better environment, yet when presented with a scenario that would improve the environment, they turn it down. When I worked for the Natural Resources Conservation Service, I worked with ranchers to develop comprehensive grazing plans. These plans would be designed to improve the quality of habitat for all within the grazing area. When the plan was presented to an "environmentalist", they would reject it. Their goal was to remove livestock from the grazing area. Their argument was that it improved the vegetation to remove grazing from an area. That was true, for the first few years. After three or four years, the vegetation in the area would start to decline. The decline in vegetation would continue until the area was almost unfit for any wildlife or livestock. The only way to prevent this was to keep livestock grazing in the area. If the area was kept for livestock use, the improvements put in would be maintained. There would be water for livestock and wildlife. There would be cover for wildlife to hide it and food for wildlife to eat. All of this and livestock grazing on top of it all. Everybody should have been happy. But, no, "environmentalists" would want livestock removed.
My only conclusion can be that the "environmentalist" is not interested in the environment. They have another agenda that is driving their thinking. They are just using the positive sounding environmental message to promote their real agenda. They enlist the aid of the most gullible of people to promote their agenda, like movie stars. Most movie stars have little or no education and are unable to see the real agenda behind the message. In my humble opinion, the real agenda is to destroy western civilization and bring communism or some other socialist based culture in. Because their answer to everything is for the United States to stop doing something good and take a step back in the way we do things.
I must admit that because of the environmental movement, the environment is much cleaner than it was before the environmental movement. But when you look at the movement, you see people that are more interested in something else than the environment. In fact, some of them are doing things that are actually causing more harm to the environment than the thing they are protesting against. It would be nice if they would actually get a brain. But that would probablly be too much to ask.
