Is it really so simple?
Hasn't human action had detrimental consequence for the environment? And as such aren't efforts to mitigate or undo those consequences a positive?
If that's the case won't the ranchers just pass along the increased cost of doing business to the consumers so we're all ultimately gonna pay for the actions of people a long time ago, which for better or worse, is just how it goes.

- kmeisthax 3y agoIt depends on the kind of conservative. In blue states, some of them will shout and hollar about, say, how the new nuclear plant is going to pollute the streams with nuclear waste.
- junofan 3y agoI’m a big conservationist and I think it’s much, much wiser to pick and choose the battles. Dogmatism like > Hasn't human action had detrimental consequence for the environment? And as such aren't efforts to mitigate or undo those consequences a positive? is too often a tool to steamroll other people.
- Teever 3y agoSure, that may be a good general sort of viewpoint, but does it apply in this situation?
