Many environmentalists have hidden agentas.
I don't hate them but my first reaction towards someone that claims to be an environmentalist is that he is a hypocrite.
That being said i think we all must do our share for a cleaner environment.

Your viewpoint simply isn't constructive. Doing your share isn't about recycling bottles. What "doing your share" really is, is understanding what's really going on, or, of you're not interested, then "doing your share" means, don't make statements that environmentalists are hypocrites.

I didn't say that environmentalists are hypocrites. I said many of them are.
I 'm not talking about the funny tree-hugging hippies that i really like but about guys with actual power in their hands that are cutting down forests in order to install wind turbines! And all that in the name of alternative power sources.

You're referring to entrepreneurs, a class of person that I did not necessarily qualify as an environmentalist several posts back. However, some entrepreneurs are very respectable environmentalists, such as Yvon Chouinard, founder and CEO of Patagonia.
