  Rad, gnarly, sick are still widely used in skiing and snowboarding circles at least.

  I think it has its place in things that need to be fixed in the field where you may not have access to a screwdriver. Other than that they kinda suck

  College towns usually mean that the town doesn’t have any identity outside of the college. In some ways that’s nice, because you have a big community right there. But in other ways the town won’t really do anything without the college.

  Sorry it’s been a really long week and the brain worms are getting to my language center…

  I like to crisp up my burrito in a pan after I roll it. if you brown the side with the opening first then the juices trying to escape soften up the tortilla enough to get cooked together. It’s like welding a burrito shut.

  I am asking, how bad is it?

  The environment has a capacity to handle some pollution. If the pollution caused by golf courses is negligible then why should I care about something that pales in comparison to that which is causing real and apparent harm.

  I see a couple of acres of grass that makes people happy. I see thousands of acres that are clearly damaging the environment that i love. Why should I care about the little bit that gets people outside enjoying the outdoors? Why do you sling insults instead of changing my mind? I’m open to change my mind, just have a conversation with me.

  Are you a conservationist or a preservationist? Do you believe humans should enjoy the land we protect, or should humans be kept away from the natural world to protect it?

  Look, I get it it’s the Internet, but why all the insults?

  I read the links and it seems to me that I was entirely correct. Runoff from farms is the primary source of nitrogen and other fertilizers in the waterways. I drive through Addison Vermont every day for work. You can smell the putrid rotting shit they spray on the fields. Vermont has rules around when you can spray shit, so that’s why it smells worse than New York farms. Because it ferments in a pit or tank for a while before use.

  I also did a preliminary search and it seems that golf courses have been reducing the amount of fertilizer used over the past couple of decades.

  So yes fertilizer is a problem. Farms need to figure out a way to reduce the runoff they produce. I probably just didn’t read hard enough but how much of a problem are golf courses? How do they compare to other polluters?

  I don’t think you’ve seen how NEON GREEN the Adirondacks are. I get that they fertilize it. But really I don’t think the environmental impact is particularly great around me.

  What environmental impacts are there that I’m not thinking of for my area? And how severe are they? The way I see it, this area is one that can afford to have golf courses.

  I live in upstate New York, just about every town has a golf course. I personally love the game, but I honestly don’t think their that bad for the environment up here. For many people it’s their third place.

  Like we get plenty of rain, and most I’ve been to are nestled near the edge of the forests. The APA regulates the shit out of what you can do. And it’s really not much of a waste of land. If I want to go for a hike or trail run, I have dozens within biking distance and maybe even 100 within 30 minutes of driving.

  It’s farms and their cow shit fertilizer releasing gass and it’s runoff polluting the watershed that’s doing the most damage around here. But like I say, the APA does a pretty good job most of the time.
