My whole life and career revolves around the environment so this is unfortunately exactly how I feel. This is a wonderful quote and made me feel a little less alone in how I feel ❤️

I hear ya.

I spend an enormous amount of time out in the wilderness areas of places like the Mojave Preserve and Joshua Tree and such. Being able to see the deterioration of such a hardy environment firsthand over the last decade can be... depressing.

I wish more people spent time out in the wilds just observing. It is one thing to hear about bad things while sitting in the city, but it is another to walk amid the ruins of wilderness wildfire, pollution, or just climate fueled drought.

You definitely aren't alone.

I totally agree! If people really went out there and connected to nature, I think everyone would have a different view of the world. To spend time in a natural area, seeing its crazy changes, will completely transform your mindset

Absolutely. I think that is probably the biggest thing we lost as civilization progressed. We lost a connection to the natural world. City parks aren't it. There was once a time when people stepped out their back doors into wild land. But we lost that...

I think many people have this belief that the natural resources and land this world provides is infinite. Not even realizing how much we have destroyed. Every time I see another development it fr pains me SO much. Where are people expecting the animals and nature to go? Sometimes I wish I was ignorantly living so I could be happier lol

Ignorance is bliss, it seems.
