Big Green Mess #4: The New Normal is False Consensus   by J.D. Erickson

This is the fourth in a series of articles exposing “Green” thinking to the light of day. I like apple green, but usually only on apples. Don’t litter. Do recycle when you can. Try not to run over bicyclists. Other than that, leave my country alone.

A tiny white car driven across your television screen by a well-known celebrity is hawked as ‘The New Normal’.  Another small car was named ‘Car of the…

The taint in green movements will surprise some people.  What could be wrong with recycling plastic and aluminum?  Or using fewer napkins or squares from the round roll?  Your first clue: Who is telling you to “Think Green”? …

What could be more intriguing to the physiologically incomplete mind of a twenty-something than destruction wrapped in ideological protest?  Edward Abbey’s “The Monkey Wrench Gang”, 1975, showcased the crimes of environmental…

DB: Way too many syllables in that ism.  Guess lots of isms are like that.

Dakota: Here’s dogism for you.  Get out of Jer’s office chair.

Jacey: Like yeah, you’ll get cat hair all over you.
