It brings up thoughts about the upcoming New York climate protest...

Also Greta Thunberg made a big show of sailing to New York because she refused to fly so her trip would be carbon-free... but SIX sailors needed to take flights in order to get her ship back to Europe, meaning she would have literally created less of a carbon footprint for her trip if she had just flown by herself here.
I'll be sure to tell this to the fine folks at the Isaac Walton League, Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, Trout Unlimited, Bull Moose, and the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, among others, at the next meeting of folks concerned about protecting our waterways and wild places so we can continue to hunt and fish in them.
