When somebody throws something out the car window, honk at them, but don't give them the finger. We've got to temper our negative feelings about people who desecrate the environment.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have a very positive attitude to anyone who is protecting the environment, but it's inadmissible when people are using it as a means of promoting themselves, using it as a source of self-enrichment. I don't want to name any specific examples... but often, environmentalism is used to blackmail companies.
If you sort of treat the environment in sort of this mechanical, industrial way that there's a disconnect between man and the environment, it's very easy to treat people that way.
Environmentalists have a very conflicted relationship with their cars.
People who run environmental groups and things like that, who have to listen to all kinds of nonsense and keep their tempers, are very diplomatic and very inclusive.
People want to feel good about the choices they make. They want to know they're choosing material that's not going to harm the environment.
I always try to say, 'If you want to help the environment, try to do just two things. One, use less of your car. Second, separate your garbage.'
I maintain that if there is such a thing as a true and honest environmentalist, it's people like Slim and hopefully me, who have been caretakers of the land all our lives, along with the generations before us.
If we intend to provide a better life, and a better world, for future generations, we can't ignore the quality of the environment we leave them.
The world is full of things that upset people. But most of us deal with it and move on and don't try and burn the planet down.
Wear the badge of environmental radicalism, and you're a citizen automatically under suspicion.
