What is it with so-called "environmentalists" being such slobs? I'm not speaking for all of them, just the ones that I've run into. I've noticed that a lot of people who claim that they care about the environment and conservation, might care about the environment but are very messy, disorganized people.
Take for example, my very Democrat temporary roommate Bob. He is all about keeping the sidewalks clean, not littering, alternate energy sources, lecturing McDonalds about their use of styrofoam breakfast containers, etc. OK maybe he doesn't litter or pollute, but he sure litters his room and the apartment! I'm always finding crinkled up plastic bags tucked into corners of the dining room...yuck!Does he REALLY think that the answer to cleaning up our streets and cities, is to designate his room as the Official Landfill Dump of the world? Then there is the conservation of energy thing. In the last couple of weeks, I've come home from work in the middle of the afternoon to find Bob working outta home on his computer. There's nothing wrong with that, however what IS wrong is that he will have the dining room light, hallway light, AND bathroom light on in the middle of a sunny afternoon! He works in the dining room so maybe he needs the extra light(yeah right), but the hallway and the bathroom are on the opposite side of the apartment from the dining room! How annoying. Electricity won't last forever if we use it as liberally as Bob!
A few years ago in college, I had a very pro-environmentalist roommate and she too was kinda messy! She wasn't AS messy as Bob, and for the most part she kept her clutter on her side of the room, but still...I don't understand how people who are all about cleaning up the world, keep their OWN place in such a state of disarray that resembles a city after a Hurricane Katrina + terrorist bombing combo. Don't they realize that to clean up our planet, we need to start small by first being able to conquer cleaning our rooms, before worrying about cleaning every street in Pennsylvania??!
