This is a thread for those of us who value the environment, but are not onboard with the Leftist lean that the modern environmental movement has taken.
The environmental movement in the US started, at least on the large scale, with Teddy Roosevelt, yet seems the sole realm of Leftists these day, because of how the media and social situation has evolved. This needs to change, and getting conservative and non-progressive view points and opinions on what could/should be done to protect the environment is one way to start to change the narrative and get real, workable solutions implemented.
Personally I feel that environmental issues are something everyone should be concerned about and have a voice in, because wanting a habitable biosphere far into the future shouldn't be a partisan issue.
Here's an article showing some of the successes, and stumbling blocks, in trying to make the environment a bi-partisan issue once again.
So, what sort of ideas and opinions do posters here have in regards to environmental issue?

'Tired of playing defense': GOP claims the environment issue. But climate change? Not so much.
President Trump and Republicans in Congress want you to know they care about the environment, too. That was the message from events this month at the White House and the U.S. Capitol. Climate change wasn't high on the Republican list.
