It makes me laugh how skewed people’s priorities are.
I don’t see how anyone, especially someone with children, could think the environment is a low priority. The environment includes our air and water…the very basics of survival…and yet so easy to screw up.
Perhaps when you think “environment”, you think of distant rain forests or something. I think of things happening in my own background. Perhaps living in the most polluted state in the country makes you “worked up” about the environment. Not only do I want clean air and water for myself, but I’d also like to preserve some of the natural beauty that folks often take for granted. I don’t think that makes me an environmentalist. I think it makes me a decent human being.
