    Seriously. Human lives or not, how is not considering pollution protecting the environment? Humans are not the only living things in the environment.

    Yeah but before that they have their private islands and valleys that they keep pristine so they and only they can go do stuff in it. They turn into environmentalists overnight when talking about the land they play in. Mostly shooting animals, but some light atving also.
