Time to Kicic Out tiie Corporate Greens: Towards a New Environmental Movement

摘要

The environmental movement is on life support. Some would say it is already dead. Even though climate change and Al Gore are fast becoming the conversation du jour around the American dinner table, it also happens to be the rallying cry for do-gooderconservationists and corporations alike. Call it the eco-economy. Virtually all major corporations now claim they are going "green." Toyota dealerships cannot keep the hybrid Prius in stock. Apple, after heavy lobbying from Greenpeace and others, declares they are going to make their computers environmentally friendly. Genetically modified corn, which produces ethanol fuel, is being hawked by Monsanto as an alternative to petroleum based gasoline. Ethanol advocates are calling their program "Fuels for Profit," while they sip McDonald's organic coffee. The environmental movement has been corporatized.
