Death of an Environmentalist

I understand now why my father told me as a little boy that I should leave things in better shape than I found them. Environmentalism on its own cannot and will not, achieve this. It will only leave things in less of a mess than they otherwise would have been.
With this blinding flash of the obvious conveniently in hand, I hereby hang up my hemp socks, my Birkenstock sandals and my woolen touque and bid my inner tree-hugger goodbye. Bye-bye, tree-hugger. It’s been swell.
It’s time for me to go back to the very beginning, stop using the F
-word and start again.

You make a good point.
Also enjoyed reading about your recent adventures.As I’m planning my trips and can hardly wait to get out in the woods.

Well spoken, padawan! You have arrived at a interesting point in reality – a point that 99% of society does not know exists. I support your decision to hang up (metaphorically) the old ways of thinking. Although I don’t think that learning the corporate mind-set will assist you in achieving eco-effectiveness, I do think that putting yourself on a better path will. I do love the beer analogy – that is what it’s all aboot after all! Keep on smiling!
