We filthy environmentalists

An echo of what I was talking about a few weeks ago:

Survey shows eco-warriors are worst polluters

As I said before, our shit doesn't stink...

Someone will doubtless make the argument that, well, environmentalists are generally better educated, and therefore better off, thus accounting for the difference. But if in fact we are better educated and better off then doesn't that mean we should have the knowledge and resources to reduce our energy consumption in meaningful ways?

Of course, this short article doesn't mention the real, single most important "lifestyle choice" that most profoundly affects an individual's lifetime environmental footprint: How many children he or she has. That might have changed the conclusions substantially.
