Well, yeah. But not any greater or more tedious bullshit than many of
the putatively "green" odds & sods that we're expected (or forced) to
embrace today, many of which (IMHO) are ways of externalizing some
large entity's cost onto the consumer or create a profit ex novo.
Yes, the vast volumes of toxics and particulates fired up smokestacks,
down drains and off tailings dumps before regulation outweigh, in
global effect, plastic bags or gas lawn mowers. The point of the
"cute" piece was to ridicule self-righteous Greenness among those who
adopt and evangelize the Green Consumer Catechism without critical
thought or meaningful knowledge.
Or so I understood it.
