Being Green: Why Try?
Does anyone feel like littering, leaving a mess, chopping down trees for sport or eating chemicals is a good thing? No on feels that way, do they? And yet Americans are being treated like apathetic no-minds most days.
But really, what can be done about the environment other than caring for our own little patch of land the best way possible? That question is explored nicely in this article.

That's a nice article. While I don't agree with him entirely, as long as "being green" saves me money, why not?
(But I won't give up my steak, thanks)
The author, with typical NY Times angst, frets whether it is worth it to be a virtuous chump.
Anyone believing the misanthropic screeds of Rachel Carson, Paul Ehrlich, James Hansen or Al Gore is just a chump. No virtue.
