DOLLY PARTON: "We're just mistreating Mother Nature--that's like being ugly to your mama."

[kpete]

Dolly Parton: “We should pay more attention [to the environment]. We’re just mistreating Mother Nature—that’s like being ugly to your mama. We need to take better care of the things that God gave us freely. And that we’re so freely messing up.”

1. She's a treasure.

[sky_masterson]

2. She has my vote for best living person.

She just keeps getting more and more incredible. She needs to be on a coin or something.

[Rebl2]

9. I agree!

She would say a big no to that coin though.

[Emile]

3. She is probably witnessing mountain top removal up close!

Dolly is a national treasure!

[Blues Heron]

4. Stop flying around then and check your own carbon footprint

Is she walking the walk or is she just spewing CO2?

[secondwind]

12. Wow 😮

[secondwind]

15. Dolly Parton has championed everything from HIV/AIDS initiatives,

to disaster relief, cancer treatment, and animal rights.

She does FUNDRAISING and gathers DONATIONS. Your post is unwarranted.

[DURHAM D]

24. Plus 155 million books given to children.

Plus funding for the covid vaccine research.

You are right - the post is unwarranted.

[Jilly_in_VA]

28. Also rescues bald eagles

through a sanctuary there. You should be ashamed of yourself. I damn near reported that post.

[abqtommy]

5. I'm happy to see, read and hear whatever Dolly has to say. We all "spew carbon dioxide"

with every breath we take. There are different degrees of people causing problems and
Dolly isn't the worst.

[Blues Heron]

6. Just saying that talk is cheap

we are past the talking time - its time for action. Lets see some results. I doubt she has skipped any vacations in the last 20 years.

[niyad]

8. Why so ugly about her? Show us what she has done/said that backs that up.

[Blues Heron]

13. I just dont feel like being lectured to by someone who has their own private jet

Like I said, talk is cheap.

[niyad]

16. So everything else she does is worthless? Got it.

[Blues Heron]

17. Just saying talk is cheap, show what you are giving up for the environment

Show some sacrifice that you yourself have made - where have you actually cut back in your own carbon footprint? (not you - Dolly)

[Hugin]

19. Well, for starters she doesn't have any children.

Pretty big carbon savings there.

[NickB79]

20. That's a talking point the RW uses every time there's a climate conference

"Look, DeCaprio flew in on a jet, and Obama bought a mansion on the coastline. Climate change must be a hoax!"

Don't go down that path.

[Blues Heron]

30. The time for meaningless platitudes is over

Especially from someone who is actually in the vacation industry. I mean - does she want a cookie? WTF show some sacrifice for mother earth - the time is now for everyone to step up.

[NickB79]

31. Greta came to the climate conference in a freaking sailboat to avoid emissions

Still did jack to shut up the RW deniers

[FoxNewsSucks]

14. I don't understand that either.

Same as the people who mocked Gore for having a big house.

I guess some people are only happy with those able to completely live off the grid.

[DURHAM D]

26. Seven letter word.

7. The Qonned are boycotting DisneyWorld, planning to go to DollyWorld wo realizing how progressive she

... without realizing how progressive she is.

[uponit7771]

10. 21st century nuke energy in form of modular reactors could help. Dems need to be informed better

... on what new tech has come for nuclear, people are stuck mostly in 20th century fears.

[Rural_Progressive]

25. Actually it wouldn't

.......nuclear radiologist Peter Karamoskos, of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), says the world shouldn't hold its breath.

'Without exception, [thorium reactors] have never been commercially viable, nor do any of the intended new designs even remotely seem to be viable. Like all nuclear power production they rely on extensive taxpayer subsidies; the only difference is that with thorium and other breeder reactors these are of an order of magnitude greater, which is why no government has ever continued their funding.'

From The Guardian. (highlighting my own)

We can already produce more power than the world can use daily via renewables. The problem to overcome with them is storage. Put the same effort and taxpayer subsidies into overcoming that issue and we won't have to be concerned with issues of radioactivity.

You need to be informed better and stop drinking corporate koolaid.

[DownriverDem]

11. Makes you ask

is the south being punished for being so hateful? Their weather is insane.

[NickB79]

21. Bemidji or Duluth?

I've been tossing around the idea of buying land up there for camping and hunting. Have a few friends that still live in Northern MN.

[Emile]

27. Itasca county is a beautiful place. A good friend of mine

Terry owns Edge of the Wilderness Reality in Marcell, Minnesota. Here is the website: https://eowrealty.com/

22. K&R!

23. Love how the Trumpers are boycotting Disney by going to Dollywood instead.

If I only they knew…

[Upthevibe]

32. kpete.....

I agree with what someone else posted:

Best. Living. Person.....
