Description
THE WORD "environmentalist" usually conjures images of dreadlocked campaigners in tie-dyed T-shirts who eat only organic muesli and never travel by car. Or of that painfully PC couple from Park Slope who carry their kids marsupial-style and make monthly donations to NPR. Or of earnest Greenpeace activists denouncing big corporations for killing polar bears and claiming that "The Science" shows we're all doomed--Greens always use the definite article in relation to science. Those views are so 1970s. Or at best 1980s. Environmentalism may still have a somewhat edgy, down-at-heel public image, but going green has become big business, and there are buckets of cash to be made from "saving the planet." In fact, we are witnessing the emergence of a Green-Industrial Complex--an alliance between national governments, enormous corporations, and powerful individuals that uses the politics of fear to procure public money.
