Some of our largest environmental problems have not been caused by who you might think. Often, environmentalists cite the Bush Administration or “capitalists” as causes for major environmental problems. Yet, the contributors to some of the largest environmental problems we face today are none other than environmentalists. They are environmentalists who jump on the band wagon of plastic vs. paper bags or electric cars or ethanol fuel.

Plastic saves trees but bio-degrades only after 900 years, is made from crude oil materials, and has amassed such a large pile of garbage that there is now a massive island of trash floating in the Pacific Ocean

The electric car is a mythological zero emission vehicle

And bio-fuels will lead to deforestation.

Don’t contribute to the problem, educate yourself by listening to my radio show this weekend. Dean and I have some great guests on the show, and we’ll be talking about environmentalists who damage the environment.
