Environmentalists live in centrally heated houses, drive cars, buy electronic goods, and eat food produced using fossil fuels, just like everyone else. They convince themselves they are 'saving the planet' by separating their rubbish into different boxes, having a compost heap, growing a few manky veg in their garden, and buying a Toyota Prius.<br /><br />If you were serious about it all you would live in as small a house as possible, use as little electricity as possible, eat only what you could produce yourself, and travel nowhere. A very frugal and bare existence.<br /><br />Oh, and probably most important of all, have no kids. Because population growth is the biggest cause of increased energy consumption.Sobershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11407417389022146963noreply@blogger.com
