Yet many cities continue to thrive without them. Imagine that!
This never made sense to me. I know liberal people and I know conservative people. The liberal people are outspokenly pro-environment, don't want trees cut down, yada yada, but they live in urban jungles and they get out to hike maybe 2 or 3 times per year. On the other hand, it's the conservative people who like living on 5 acres of land, hunting, fishing, hiking.
Just because you live on 5 acres of land, hunt, fish and hike doesn't meant that you care about the environment. Are you hunting just enough for you to survive on or are you just mindlessly gunning down everything in sight? How much fish do you catch and are you mindful of the amount of fish left in the lake and how clean the lake is? You can live in the city and be concerned with the natural resources of the Earth because ultimately changes to the resources affect us all no matter where we live.

I'd also venture to guess that despite the OP's '2-3 hikes a year' claim that there are many New Yorkers who walk far more on a daily basis than their counterparts on their 5 acres.
