Sadly, everyone confuses environmental efforts with activists. Understand the difference, say, between the study of ecology and its importance with someone chaining themselves to a bulldozer.
When someone says something like this it's so smug.
Yeah, there are few people who want to walk in to their front yards and see a pile of waste. That doesn't make you an environmentalist.
Environmentalists, Atheists, Feminists, etc are all wayyyyy more guilty of beating you over the head with their bible-equivalents than the mormons.
