I agree that its her land and she should be able to do whats she sees fit. In this case, I do think she is selfish to not think of the envoronment, but it is her land.

However, On the flip side. Compete "hands off" attitude dosn'talways work when the general welfare of the environment and public are at stake. If I own300 acres of land, and decide to lease it to a chemical company to dump toxins. Is that OK?? After all, it is my land right?? Off course not. Landowners still should be held accountable when their actions effect others.
