I think the main reason people don't like camping or nature is because of mosquitos and biting ants. This dislike of outdoors converts directly to a lack of environmentalism. I don't know the conversion rate, so who knows how much more we'd care for nature minus mosquitos, but if we're destroying the planet either way, we should at least enjoy some part of life without these parasites.

- epicureanideal 6y agoAbsolutely. Saber tooth tigers. Check. Dire wolves. Check. The environment adapted just fine to the loss of these species. The 1000s of other species made extinct recently... Oops! ...But again, the natural ecosystem didn't irrecoverably collapse. After eliminating so many much more valuable or interesting species (IMO), I certainly don't want to stop right when we're getting to ticks and mosquitoes.
