Thanks, HG.

Environmentalism is not a one size fits all proposition, and I think a local, community focus like you have is a reasonable place to be. So from my standpoint, you do not deserve the label you have given yourself. How many people *want* to live on top of love canal, after all ? Or *want* lead back in paint and gas ? No one I know, and I am sure not you either.

Environmentalism as a political movement is probably what you shy away from, and that is OK with me. I steer clear of religion in much the same way, I imagine. I respect diversity and tolerance, but get uppity when it is a one-way street.

Regarding Climate change, I'm actually kind of surprised that it has become the divisive issue of the day. To me it is a question of science, and I look towards the world's best experts for information. How to respond is a political question, and a spectrum of opinions are to be expected. Do you think differently ?
