I had been planning to write a follow up to a piece I wrote about a year ago “Saving the Planet is easy”, only to find that Jamais Cascio had already done it in an essay more elegant than mine would have been. (Thanks to John Naughton for the link) Here is the opening; read the rest:
“The grand myth of environmentalism is that it’s all about saving the Earth.
It’s not. The Earth will be just fine. Environmentalism is all about saving ourselves.”
So let’s say it one more time, ” Environmentalism is all about saving ourselves”, not about saving fluffy bunnies.
