This is even more short term thinking and a bit of ignorance. Where do you think all of the ‘stuff’ around you came from? Everything starts as raw materials, most of them organic.
And besides how selfish would it be to preserve nothing for the future generations.
- ninetyninenine 2y agoI'm literally saying preserve it by keeping everyone out.
- amanaplanacanal 2y agoIt's a political problem. If people can't actually use the wilderness, you will lose public support for keeping the wilderness. It will all end up being sold to the highest bidder and destroyed.
- exabrial 2y agoThis is exact opposite of preservation, forests don’t preserve themselves since humans arrived! This line of thinking has lead to crazy intense wildfires. Even grasslands require regular maintenance. Invasive species are the biggest problem. Fuel buildup is another. Ignoring the problem is the third.
- ninetyninenine 2y agoYour claims are inconsistent. First you say I’m selfish then I prove to you I’m not by emphasizing my original claim was anything but selfish. Now your claim is forests don’t preserve themselves since humans arrived? First off my solution is to reverse the arrival of humans. Second your claims are inconsistent as they’ve changed. I don’t think you’re maintaining a clear and consistent thought process you’re just attacking me from every possible angle. We should be having a discussion here, don’t get defensive.
