How much nature conservation have an effect your daily lifestyle?
We hear about global warming, greenhouse effect, planting more trees, species go extinct within a certain amount of time – you do not mind at all and what you try to do to save the planet?
I am a professional soil scientist and environmental consultant, I care a lot. 
I try to educate people all day about what Al Gore is stupid scam. I encourage people to study some science themselves, and not simply accept what jump to news, entertainment and educational media try to claim. (I used go around the state to give lectures in schools, and it was amazing how many teachers were teaching things that were the opposite of what was actually found in the laboratory University.) As a baseline, however, I think the whole premise of "saving the planet" is wrong. It is not about saving the planet – it is to save us, or "save the planet for us." The planet was here before us and really has no care whether it is or whatever it is sterile. But the question is, how think the way we use our planet's impact lifestyle? We could all return in caves and eat shrubs, beans and berries, but is that what we want? Similarly, we could have a filthy place, full of pollution around us. I do not like that idea, either … and that is the essence of conservation. We are preserving something useful rather than exploit and destroy. So we are * not * save the planet, we are good stewards of it.
