I’m an on-again-off-again fan of John C. Dvorak. I regularly listen to TWiT and CrankyGeeks and Tech5 podcasts that he’s on regularly. Sometimes he offends me, but every time he at least makes me think a little harder about a topic.
I came across this recent column, Turn Off the Lights! of his in PC Magazine where he shares his opinion on the “green” movement. I’m all for saving the environment as much as we can, but I’m also for intelligent understanding of what our real impact is, not just what the popular movement of the minute seems to be.
What bothers me most about the green movement is the arrogance—the greener-than-thou attitude—of many participants. Combine these people with the dummies who just go along with the flock regarding what is best for mankind—er, personkind—and you have a dunce brigade telling everyone what to do.
The question then comes to light, excuse the pun, what are you really doing to impact the environment?
