I think the greenest people I ever knew where my grandparents who came of age in Depression Era rural America. For them, reduce, reuse and recycle was not a hippie slogan but an ingrained way of life born of hard experience. They were also the most gloriously unhip people I have ever met.

I was struck while watching some of those home remodeling shows just how quick supposedly eco-sensitive remodelers were to junk perfectly functional attributes of houses just because they disliked the aesthetics. If they really cared about the environment they would value function over form.

I think most the green movement is about narcissistic holier than thou dominance behavior than it is about the saving the earth.
