- VikingCoder 11y agoI once discovered that the person I was talking to hated environmentalists, because in their thinking they wanted to protect the ENVIRONMENT, and not humans. I tried to explain, "I can't speak for all environmentalists, but I want to protect the environment so that it's habitable and enjoyable FOR HUMANS." I apparently blew his mind - he'd never considered that as a reason to be an environmentalist.
