I just wanted to post a thank you to Gard for recommending Terry Lee Anderson's book "Free Market Environmentalism" in your 4/26/2012 LibertyConspiracy podcast.

You had explained the free market/liberty based solutions to environmental issues so extremely well in that podcast, so when you recommended Anderson's book I made sure to find a used copy ASAP.

I've only just started the book but I can already see what a valuable work it is on the subject.

I wish more people could think rationally & logically so that they could come to the philosophy of voluntaryism / anarcho-capitalism.  Thanks to Stefan Molyneux I understand that it's not just an education/information/knowledge issue but moreso a trauma based ideologies issue (hence the promotion of extending the non-aggression principle to all people, especially children).

Anyways, I'm getting a little side tracked....I just wanted to provide you the positive feedback regarding "Free Market Environmentalism" and express to you that your communication skills in explaining the ideas of liberty/voluntaryism are some of the best I've ever heard.

Keep up the great work and I can't wait to meet you at Porcfest 2012 in a little less than 2 weeks (my wife & I will be arriving on Thursday 6/21/2012).

Be seeing you!

I've read a book co-authored by Anderson which was also remarkable, The Not So Wild, Wild West.  It is a great book about the environment and property rights in frontier America.

On the subject of the environment, I just got back from spending a couple of days at the Sundance Resort here in Utah.  It is owned by a well known actor, Robert Redford.  From what I understand, Bob, as the locals call him, bought the over 5,000 acre property to ensure that it was properly managed and cared for in a way that would protect it's natural beauty.

I'll be investigating the details of how Redford has gone about building a green business, which seems to be doing pretty well.  I shall return later with my findings.
