I started thinking about this.....
Why is it that we are tip-toeing around, wheeling responsibly, doing trail clean ups, and everything we can to give sport a better enviromentally freindly name.
But.....
Nobody seems to be getting mad about the new strip malls the new subdivision,the new condo complex. These places are destroying way more wilderness than we could ever dream of doing.
I get mad everytime I drive through my old neighborhood and show my kids where the woods "used to be"..... I had good memories of building tree forts, bmx'ing, riding dirt bikes, rope swings and all that stuff that made being a kid fun.
Unfortunatley my "old playground" is now covered with condos,and apartments.... It is a shame the next generation of kids can't enjoy the same things I did growing up.
What are your thoughts on the urban sprawl?
