			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Environmentalism</strong> is the new <strong><q>F</q>-word</strong>.  And so, from here on in I am going to try to remove the word <em>entirely</em> from my spoken and written vocabulary.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" id="image62" alt="Dead environmentalist in broken canoe" src="http://mccrindle.com/wp-content/dead-environmentalist-large.jpg" />Having been a part of the modern environmental movement now for over a decade, one thing has become very clear to me. Nobody cares. Wait &#8211; let me type that again. <em>Nobody cares</em>.</p>
<p>What people do care about is <strong>money</strong>. And I think that I am only fooling myself if I run around preaching green <em>this</em> and green <em>that</em> and expect basic human nature to suddenly and fundamentally change.</p>
<p>Where did I read once that <q>if you want to change the world, you need first to change yourself?</q> Well, here goes.</p>
<p>I will learn the language of the economy. I will learn the tools of the corporation. I will learn the techniques of politicking. And perhaps most importantly, as the Jedi Master <em>Yoda</em> told young <em>Luke Skywalker</em>, I will start to <q><strong>unlearn what I have learned</strong></q>.</p>
