I'd rather toxic waste be dumped at a golf course than in wildlife habitat. Am I supposed to feel bad for these bougie assholes who already destroyed said habitat for their stupid game?
It's actually a national park with ~20 dollar tee fees. If you're going to access the game for cheap anywhere it would be places like this. Until Trump sells it to his buddies or builds a giant dick monument at any rate.
The toxic waste dump would create more difficulty to rewildlife the golf course. Or do you think toxic waste doesn't harm flora and funa?
Don't forget rainwater run off and the water table.
It also travels. Soil, groundwater, and particulate matter in the air.
As if there was any chance of said golf course ever being rewildlifed...
There would be through activism. But now that is going to have to be tabled so one first clean out the toxic waste
Bold of you to think that late stage capitalist robber barons would let activism get in the way of their leisure that is so nicely isolated from the poors and jobbies and whatnot.
unfortunately golf course are quite polluting thier runoffs will pollute nearby water sources.
True. Golf courses are famously meticulously quarantined environments where large-scale toxic waste would never leak out into the surrounding environment. I totally forgot too that "golf course" and "wildlife habitat" were both mutually exclusive and the only options for toxic waste disposal.
I'm pretty sure most golf courses are already mostly toxic pesticides and fertilizer anyway. And full of toxic people
thats what ruined a nearby lake that used to have fish in it, in the west coast.
strong "we towed it outside the environment" energy
They should seize the means of the five iron! They have nothing to lose but a stroke under lead!
