Like you, I care far more about my family than anything else. I'm the mother of 3 kids, and my biggest emotional investment by far is to see that they live good lives. That's true for any parent of course. Environmentalism is (for me - and for everyone else I personally know), about making sure we retain a world for our children, where they can breath the air, drink the water and have an environment where they can succeed. It's not about baby penguins. They're cute and all, and all things being equal I feel we should keep them around as God's creations, but humans come first. Not every person concerned about the environment is an Earth First crazy. Just like not every 2nd-amendment defender thinks it's okay to keep personal chemical weapons. So I suspect we share the same goals. I'm not interested in seeing a world so degraded that my children suffer. Have you been to China or India? If not, I recommend the trip. Outside our cozy confines, the world is looking scarier.
