There are many people who consider themselves to be environmentalists. Yet, these people have very diverse beliefs and come from very diverse backgrounds.

On specific issues, environmentalists often disagree. One environmentalist might view the issue of providing pollution free power through hydroelectric as an acceptable cost to a damaged salmon population. Another might very well disagree.

What we can delimitate some fundamental processes that the environmentalist must go through to reach his rational conclusion:

1. Carefully Observe The World
2. Analysis What You Learn
3. Question Why Things Are the Way They Are
4. Act Upon What You Believe To Be Right

In one way or another, you could argue that all environmentalists are seeking the best use of our limited natural resources and our limited land. In contrast to our natural resources, the human imagination is unlimited and we can find solutions to our problems.

Indeed, environmentalists seek the best use of the land. They want to see uses that are:

1. Sustainable and protect our land for generations to come.
2. Can be enjoyed and embraced without fear of being poisoned.
3. Leads to human prosperity with diverse environments, smart cities, and prosperous farms.

We should seek environmental policies that not only protect our diverse species but also protect human dignity. We need an environment where:

1. People can create, farm, and live.
2. People can get away from urban life.
3. People can live happy and productive lives in urban centers or in small communities if they so choose

What's good for our environment is indeed good for our economy, as our economy is based on our environment. We must indeed be liberal in our quest to embrace new technologies and ideas that will improve our environment, but also conservative in respecting our natural environment around us.
