The Green Dude
More LessI am an environmentalist and proud to say it. I am also not embarrassed that I love certain things (OK, many things) which are not good for the environment. I do not believe that this makes me a bad person, or a bad environmentalist. "Moderation in all things" means that you can still lust after that bright red Ferrari that just drove by while knowing that it’s not good for the planet. It also means that there is nothing wrong in trying to make that Ferrari burn cleaner, or in being happy about the Tesla Roadster. It means that I can eat a Niman Ranch hamburger once a month while still following Michael Pollans mantra and understanding the carbon footprint associated with that meal. It means I can love snowboarding, waterskiing, mountain biking etc., great outdoor (read environmental) sports, while understanding and accepting that there are places in the world I shouldn’t bring my board, my bike or my boat. Most importantly, it means that I can continue to love doing the things I love doing, while consciously trying to do them sustainably.
