Many environmentalists are not the wealthy type because they are closet slackers.
Would you kindly point us to your sources, or are you just psychic? Or does "closet slacker" mean "not greedy enough to make a few bucks poisoning the planet"? I guess I must be full of jealously too.
Their beef with the United States is the culture of consumption, the notion of of consumer capitalism.
That's a bit empty for a culture, but it would only arouse pity if it wasn't so retarded for a long-term strategy; the planet just can't support permanent growth of the economy because it is finite. And consumer capitalism is not privative of the USA, but I have to admit it's there where it's most extreme.
Environmentalists just hate people too much for people to trust their advice.
If that was the case, why would they be fighting to ensure our continuity as a species? They could just sit and watch the show, as we blithely kill the planet off. I admit they get carried away in places, but by and large I'd have less hedonism and more chances of survival as a species.
