I did not correct you (nor did I voice an objection) on any point other than one :p
Fair enough. The way people are treating me for advocating against the destruction of nature is fucking disgusting. People are taking your point to mean that it's totally fine to trample meadows because worms will fix it and I'm an asshole for saying anything negative about this person fucking up a meadow for a photo.
Ugh. Sometimes Lemmy is exactly like reddit.
To be fair, you do come across quite like the Fritz (saying this as a German): "Das ist VERBOTEN!" A somewhat calmer approach to a quite harmless topic might get you more reach in terms of raising awareness.
I am quite sure that the problem is only ever in balance / the mass of people walking in a particular place. We are monkeys on this planet, and it is absolutely okay to walk through nature, much more so than flatten a forest to build a road.that we can walk on. People should maybe just refrain from walking off the paths in nature reserves / fragile ecosystems.
On a flowery meadow somewhere in the middle of a long hike? I don't see the problem.
It really depends on the elevation. There are so.e places that are so fragile that it is very bad to step on anything not durable, like they are saying. But if you are down in the valley, especially in the floodlands, it is not going to hurt long term to frolick in a meadow.
