Getting young folks out of the concrete jungles to areas like Apalachicola, Florida which I visit a half dozen times a year gives them an appreciation of the environment that lasts a lifetime.
Plenty of folks talk a mean game about ecology but until you have been 4 miles up river in the middle of no where with bald eagles nesting everywhere it is hard for a young person to envision the real importance of protecting the environment.
I cringe when I hear the right wing kooks speak of NO problems with the environment and anyone that claims otherwise is a liberal tree hugger.
Good news is the young folks I know are all for protecting the environment, running off the religious kooks in the GOP and supporting fiscal conservatives.
Getting ready for Joe to respond with "plutocrat" thrown in again.
Maybe he will formulate a sentence with the word in it three times.
Who's raping the enviroment, insisting on the right to drill for oil in those bald eagle sanctuaries, insisting that the only way we can compete with China is to chuck all those environmental regulations. Who is it that insists up and down that Global Warming isn't happening, spends billions of dollars on think tanks to deny the obvious?
To be fair to them, it ain't the religious nutters.
Come on, you can say it...
