Green is the new black (Score 5, Insightful)

Forgive my cynicism but in my experience, humans are not altruistic at all. Like monkeys, we do what we do because it benefits us.

While I fully support green causes for my own selfish reasons (my children), I am skeptical about the motivations of "green" groups. They seem to be using green as a fashion statement and an identity, and don't seem all that motivated to be effective.

But if given a chance to push us around for not being green... they're good at that.

Can't we just create the "Green Police" that ecosopher Pentti Linkola recommended, and be done with these irksome charities?
