It's Our Planet!

Are conservatives against responsible stewardship of our environment? Of course not. Without clean air and water we cannot survive. But we are not guests on this planet either; it is our planet. We have rights where it does not. If it is not here for us, then who? Itself? I’ve never heard a rock tell me how much his family means to him, or about how much satisfaction it gets out of its job or free time labors. Human needs come before the presumed needs of the natural world. I can see no other reasonable approach to good stewardship.
