I’m a big conservationist and I think it’s much, much wiser to pick and choose the battles. Dogmatism like
> Hasn't human action had detrimental consequence for the environment? And as such aren't efforts to mitigate or undo those consequences a positive?
is too often a tool to steamroll other people.

Sure, that may be a good general sort of viewpoint, but does it apply in this situation?

If conservatives could dump nuclear waste in streams to save a penny, they'd do it. Asking them to think about their impact on the environment, and how it might come back to impact them, is a non-starter.
Hasn't human action had detrimental consequence for the environment? And as such aren't efforts to mitigate or undo those consequences a positive?
If that's the case won't the ranchers just pass along the increased cost of doing business to the consumers so we're all ultimately gonna pay for the actions of people a long time ago, which for better or worse, is just how it goes.
