LA Weekly to Enviros: You're Wimps

That's basically the gist of the insightful article on the Los Angeles environmental movement. Not only are they wimps, but also co-opted, sold out, and decidedly behind the times what with the lack of Facebooking and Tweeting. Why else with an avowed green mayor has so little progress happened lately?

My take: If you're an environmentalist you should read the article and see if it applies to you.

  1. Sadly, I agree with James Hansen.

    The only kind of climate change legislation that can be passed is business as usual.

    We cannot live sustainably on this planet if we move from gas guzzlers to hybrid cars and slap PV panels on our suburban houses. It won't be as painless as that. We need to get OUT of cars and the far-flung suburbs.
