It bothers me that on the way to becoming a mass movement, environmentalism jettisoned science and is now just another emotion-based mass movement. Humanity faces some really daunting environmental challenges but they can't be addressed emotionally. I love your expression, eco-narcissism. It's the perfect description.<br /><br />I am all about sustainability, resource stewardship and re-thinking business as usual. However, count me out of a movement led by Greenpeace and PETA.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-57075374236400690582009-08-29T09:18:27.778-04:002009-08-29T09:18:27.778-04:00There was an article in the NYT a few years back a...There was an article in the NYT a few years back about this kind of eco-narcissism where green is the new black. There is such a thing as living smart, living irresponsibly and living stupid. I agree that this is in the stupid catagory. Environmentalism as fashion and who cares about those pesky facts is as shallow as it gets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
