Anybody -- even liberals -- can use this as a kind of Cliff Notes for one brand of environmentalism. I'll be more likely to simply describe an idea or behavior than make a case for it. My prejudices, but I'm not pulling them out of the air, and I'm not taking them uncritically for some Green Vatican.
