Nooooo 10 rocks are now vertical instead of horizontal. The environment is fucked now
Noooooooo I threw this one piece of trash on the ground the environment is fucked
Noooooooo I dumped one pan of used motor oil on some weeds the environment is fucked
Noooooooo I bought a bitcoin mining rig and doubled my electric bill the environment is fucked
You win, stacking rocks is the same as dumping oil. My mind has been changed
The point is that there are many things that aren't too big of deal if one person does it, but become major problems when a lot of people do it.
Which is a garbage point to make because you're clearly aware that doing this stuff is bad, but justify doing it because other people should stop
Is this akin to the recycling 'we all have to do our part' schtick pushed by the oil companies?
No
Locally, yes, it actually is to some extent after that.
Of course you could choose not to do that but the impulse to be a contrarian asshole is strong, isn't it?
Read the article or shut the fuck up.
Have you read the article?? Which part says they're "fucking up the environment"?
Yeah, you're thinking of a different article. This one doesn't actually say what the impact of building a cairn is, and I am actually curious what the impact is for building cairns from rocks in a (relatively) dry place. The stream-bed perturbation discussion was one thing, and I am curious how much of that applies to this different context.
rocks are essential parts of the habitats of some creatures. disturbing them is disturbing their habitats. do you understand the concept of "leave no trace" at all?
If you were the only human on earth it might be only 10 rocks
