Dumb, dishonest, or both?

Dear Sir

Intriguing concept

It is very intriguing that numerous conservation organisations such as
the RSPB, the Woodland Trust, John Muir Trust etc., invite people to
travel throughout the country without considering that this is
damaging the very natural environment they are purporting to conserve.

They seem to have the mistaken theory that if they mention people
should travel by public transport or car share, thus not damaging the
environment as much as they might, they can claim they're actually
conserving it.

What nonsense this is!

The way to conserve the environment is not invite travel in the first
place.

And you live by this principle? Do you own a car?

All truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.

Of course I don't and I do own a car.

I am not a conservationists or an environmentalist

But the point I am making is that these people are selling
"conservation" but are indulging in and encouraging activities that
are damaging to the environment to fund their existence.

That is counter to their ethos and dishonest.
