Except that it's better to have it 'green' if they're going to have it
anyway. Techincally, vacationing at all is not 'green'. Neither are
televisions or refridgerators or internal combustion engines. But people
arent' going to give it all up anytime soon, so, if they're going to
do/have it anyway, might as well make it all as 'green' as possible.

The 'moron' part comes in when people assiduously do all they can to
*avoid* being at all environmentally aware. As above, if ppeople are going
to do and have a modern lifestyle, it's laudible if they try to do so in a
somewhat responsible manner.

I've been on camping and bike touring and canoeing trips where it's
very green and green, or, was that Greene & Greene?

Did you ride a Greene bicycle to get there and was it made in a Greene
factory ;) ?

Such that what is "responsible" is defined by the Right People.
