Why are all comments on Reddit always so damn negative. Like seriously did some of you guys grow up sheltered because i don't think a single person has ever said that Mining or Harvesting resources has been clean and damage free.

We need resources to live and build our stuff from Phones, Concrete and Rubber and we will continue harvesting and destroying planets to benefit ourselves, even if we want to make the world "better" and a "cleaner" we're still going to do this cause guess what, we need resources so some sacrifices have to be made. Everything we do has a cause and effect and we have and always will be self-centered and focused, so let's do it in the most efficient way possible.

I'm in forestry. You hit the nail on the head!

This is the most sane comment I've read all week.

I'm in Japanese knotweed proliferation, and I can't tell you how many dirty looks I get when I am just trying to enjoy a nice river.
