I'm betting most of us can manage not to make this an either or proposition. Some friends I've made recently introduced me to “both and” thinking, where two things don't need to be in competition but we can hold two, oftentimes seemingly contradictory ideas and possibly achieve both goals.

Your premise requires a supportive governmental apparatus to support and achieve, and only one candidate and party, in my view, appears to fill that role. I'll make a counterproposal. Let's maintain and increase the respect, preservation and connection we have with our natural world, while continually reminding ourselves, in every cycle, that electing politicians who are committed to the same goals ensures our efforts are lasting and possibly multiplied.

Thank you for commenting. I'd love to see everyone working together regardless of political affliation, religion, race, and so on, and believe it is possible. Environmental Conservation is important to us all, and everyone needs to take it seriously. Unfortunately, politics has overwhelmed our attention. I agree with you. We need to step back, refocus, and work together for the continuous preservation for our planet and all its inhabitants.
