I don't think anyone opposes environmental sensitivities, but there is a big difference between Greenpeace, Sierra Club, et al and leading a reasonable approach to ecological sustainability.
The adage that we must sleep in the bed we make applies big time to the environment, but environmental grandstanding for the sake of fame with no options for alternatives does not cut it.
Responsible management of the environment is all of our responsibilities. Change is inherent in our climate, but certainly can be accelerated through the unmitigated use of "greenhouse gasses". Responsible use of resources such as water, carbon based fuels, renewable resources (forests, vegetation) really hits home with our current rates of consumption. We need to keep this use sustainable.
If we can achieve this through conservation, recycling, reuse or what have you, we're ahead. If we wait until a crunch, we may have a lot of work ahead of us to get back what we now have.
My $0.02 worth.
