If you're so concerned head to South America and Africa and get them to change their habits. We, in this country, have been doing are part many times over. Hope it's not too much trouble.

Not really, look at Midwest on Google earth. Midwest has been bulldozing forests for 80 plus years to plant corn and soybeans. It’s been stripped 90% forest in farm belt. Only places that hasn’t been stripped hill’s with rock underlie. What should of happen IMO where there are rivers, creek, and stream’s with running water 50 yard or more buffer along stream from plow and bulldozers. That way the runout could be contained somewhat and native species survive.
