Default responsible flyfisherman?

Realistically, we shouldn't even use normal monofiliment, because it has a
pretty long life expectancy as well. How many fish have we caught or seen
that have run afoul of mono of any type? Each sport comes with its' own set
of environmental risks which change as technology changes. I suppose we
should all go back to gut leaders, but then PETA will be chaining themselves
to cats and whatever else we may use, it is a no win situation. I pick up
alot of lost mono etc. on the water while I am out, I figure it more than
makes up for the little that I lose. So perhaps that is a fair trade-off,
pick up more than you leave behind?

Fly fisherman usually pride themselves on their environmental
responsibility. Yet flourocarbin will basically NEVER decompose. It
seems preety environmentally irresponsible to use.

What are people's opinions on this?
