warriordragon12its 90 degrees in may, seattle had its worst blizzard in like 50 years in january (after having no snow since around 2012), half the state burns down in august, it rains ash over the city in september. The beautiful glaciers of Mt. Rainier continue to shrink and melt. NONE OF THIS HAPPENED 10 YEARS AGO.
and people INCLUDING THE DAMN LEADER OF THIS COUNTRY still deny climate change... but hey atleast hes someone that some uneducated redneck "can have a beer with". its embarrassing.
there is nowhere else to go, so can we stop fucking up the planet please?
edit: if you have some spare cash please consider donating to preserve the nature of the United States. If you love nature, please remember to never go off trail, and please remember to always carry the proper equipment for your own safety and the safety of others around you
Shoutout to the Washington Trails Association -- the amount of volunteer work that has gone into preserving my wonderful state is incredible. These people devote months of their life to protect our environment and help people like you and me to explore in the least damaging way possible

i'm not someone who looks into news of other states, but Washington is 100% without a doubt a state i definitely would love to visit and explore.
unfortunate to hear these things.. this summer i'll be taking a tour of PA visiting as many state parks as i can (121 total), and will be volunteering and working for many while i do my tour.
exploring most of the parks around me i have never felt a more loving connection with my surroundings and will always make an effort to preserving trails and parks. these hikes have brought into an incredible state of mind and well-being while also getting me in physical shape IMMENSELY! and i want to eventually be able to set off on a career path with national parks in hopes to become a park ranger.
(this is pretty anti-anger) but hearing you angry about this and my state of career changes, i wanted to add my note
