“Environmental” activists want us all to live primitive, dirty, and disease-ridden lifestyles. Yet the environment is far cleaner in developed countries, where people have the desire and the means to keep the environment clean. You don’t find much concern over the environment where people are struggling to survive, where the fate of that old-growth forest is inconsequential compared to the need to find food for today.
And yet these same Environmental activists drive cars and fly a round in airplanes. Their version of saving the planet is bikes for you, Gulfstream 5 for me!
My reply to them is "You first"! Move to your sustainable solar-wind energy heated and cooled hut. Eschew all use of eeevil gas, oil, coal, and nuclear power. Do not eat anything that had to be transported with those eeevil fuels.
Oh, wait...windmills chop up the birdies, scratch the wind. Solar collectors cook the birdies...scratch the solar...hydroelectric inconveniences the fishies...scratch that...Starve and freeze in the dark.
