    What you wrote here is encouraging. Though I was thinking specifically about trump opening national forests for logging which is just disgusting.

      I don’t care how desperate someone is for a job, anybody who even approaches a national forest or park with a chainsaw…

        Yeah, it’s insane. The belief is still around that if you care about the environment at all that makes you some kind of leftist political revolutionary/hippie. But to me it just means you have an iota of foresight.

        Cutting down forests without looking strongly toward the consequences of that is just fucking stupid and pathetic. The US has practically zero old growth forests. Changing the makeup of the forest has fucked, and will fuck, with the ecosystem, which we are not apart from. It affects us eventually. In ways we cannot predict. It’s a moronic move and it will harm future generations of humans, if not the current ones.

          Real talk though if they ever put chunks of BLM land up for sale I’m snatching up as much as I can.
