Environmentalism is synonymous with leftist politics. Whatever the well-meaning intentions of its origins, that's just the way it is. Of course, this is why environmentalism's work is never done. There is always one more capitalist achievement that benefits mankind to knock off, one more free-market institution that generates profit to crush, one more of liberty's gains to reverse. The goal isn't to scrub Earth clean but to wield power. Though a healthy environment is an obvious public good, the better alternative is to privatize environmentalism. Most traditional environmentalism is grounded in government telling private citizens what they can and cannot do on and with their own property. In privatized environmentalism, private interests using private money buy land and conserve it.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_deers_prairie.jpg
