Great article. One of the reasons I am not an environmentalist, is that environmentalists do not appreciate or completely understimate man's ability to repair and fix nature, rather than destroy it. One kid did a TedX talk about how in a few years, he could clean the entire Pacific ocean.

Yet environmentalists with their government ecosystem regulations prevent his plan from being enacted. Governments get involved and nothing gets done, where as if government regulated less, we could just from free-enterprise raise enough funds to enact such a project.

Government is another reason I'm not an environmentalist. Nine out of ten I hear talk, are talking about how more government regulation is going to save nature from man. In the history of mankind, government has never been our savior, but people do not like learning from history.
