Well, all of these "Environmentalists" seem perfectly willing to give up
30%+++ of someone elses salary but I have never heard of any willing to make
a personal sacrifice greater than putting up with the heat of standing in
the floodlights while they tell the nation how much of a sacrifice is needed
to save the planet.
   Conclusion: NOBODY is an "Environmentalist"!

Anyone who is willing to give up 30% of their salary in order to improve the
lifespan of the planet and every living thing currently living here.
