Rm,

Yep I am a dying breed. One that does not live in denial and does his part.

I have 10 acres set aside all riparian and have restored 2200 feet of Salmon bearing creek with only natural plants. I am the only one on this watershed that has exceed grazing and farming setbacks as proscribed under the new proposed CAO. The canopy is 142 year old Western red cedars. I have also planted 1500 western red cedars along with 150 firs on my land. My electrical bill is less than $35 per month and iIdo not use propane or natural gas or tother fossil fuels. I am 95% organic and grow or raise %80+ percent of my own food. My garbage total is lest than a cubic foot per week. And my impact on earths environment just by living in America is almost 20x that of the avg. citizen of the world. Meaning even after doing all that I have ipollute earths environment more than most people on the planet.

I also do not call my self a conservationist while fish with bait or support hatchery fisheries.
