[RC] How tree hugging hurts the environment - sherman
Are any of you watching the Tahoe fire? This is a perfect
example of ruining the forest most
likely due to tree-hugging pseudo-environmentalists
who refused to allow clearing or removal of dead and diseased trees or even
pine needles, as well as a water agency(had to be run by pseudo-environmentalists) that claimed footprints in
the forest would ruin water quality and therefore no one could go in & do
removal necessary for the health of the forest.

My husband’s family lives in Steamboat Colorado and have lived there far longer than the
hippy/tree huggers. The tree huggers are trying to restrict the use of
cattle on BLM land, trying to buy up land so that it can’t be used and
to leave it “pristine”. Well, anyone who knows Steamboat
knows how fast and big things grow there. So what’s happened is
that the undergrowth is totally out of control and a single lightening strike
could cause a fire that would be devastating to plant, animal and
humans. Naturally, fires are supposed to happen to clear out the
undergrowth, but no one, not even the tree huggers, are going to vote to just
allow the fires to burn. So the cattle can actually play an important
role in keeping the overall environment safe. This is one of those
topics that are not safe to bring up at the dinner table!!!
