I think the thing that most poignantly sums up conservative versus liberal environmentalism is the fact that conservatives are more likely to live on acreage, often times singlehandedly assuring the preservation of acres of nature, and generally living within the environment. While liberals are more likely to live in either a concrete jungle, where the only wildlife is sewer rats, or in a subdivision as part of an HOA that demands you keep a perfectly manicured lawn.
When I lived in a subdivision, if I wasn't constantly on top of keeping my lawn cut, my liberal neighbors would throw a massive fit. How dare I allow nature to thrive. Now I live on acreage and I cut what I want, when I want. I keep massive sections uncut just because there's no reason to cut it, and I keep near my house cut because we have a big tick problem in my area. And the rest is just mature woods.
Yea, I love nature. I think we all do.
