Enlighten me if I'm mistaken, but are there recreation spots that are not harmful to some animal life or the ecosystem? I suppose there are forms of recreation that cause less harm than others, but if you enjoy offroad driving, you're going to hurt something. Pretty much all the things I enjoy are unsustainable and generally harmful for the environment(motorsports, winter sports, eating meat) and at some point it becomes hard to care. I fear that there is no way to keep my conscience clear if I do not live in denial. I wonder how common this is.

- TheSpiceIsLife 6y ago> Choose your recreation spots carefully. I probably meant something like: stick to the designated areas, and if you're going to trailblazer just be aware of what to avoid to at least try to minimise impact.
- names_are_hard 6y agoFair enough. It's possible to minimize harm by making good choices, and being good isn't an all or nothing game.
