Re: [RC] How tree hugging hurts the environment - Barbara McCrary
How far back in the history of the earth would you like
to go to see how "man" has altered the earth? How many tens of thousands
or millions of years? Man has been around a long time. Even when man
lived in caves, he was altering the earth for his needs.

My viewpoint is a little different - I guess that's no surprise by
now. I think it stems from how I define "environment." In
my opinion, its the natural state of the planet. Its not human
centric where man has dominion over the earth and animals. I
view humankind's industrialization and development of the planet as not
natural and therefore a burden to the planet. Without humans to alter
the environment, cows would not be pastured and overgrowth would burn
naturally on a regular basis (germinating seeds and creating rich soil
etc). Yes, nature always finds a way but I don't beleive that it should
in some cases.
