The thing about environmental activists came as a complete surprise to me. I've never viewed them as anything other than positive. The compromises you mention usually involve the destruction part of our world, the world the future will inherit. That to me is more important than anything, that is humanity's future.
Maybe, maybe not. I sure got tired of ignorant know it alls telling me to buy wormy little CFL bulbs a couple years ago. (I was an early adopter of LED lighting). Now I see them buying LED lights.
You know what? I wasn't trying to tell them what to do.
They were trying to tell me what to do.
To save the world.
They were wrong, I was right.
