Green Options has an interview done by the Ecogeek with my favorite green radio host and eco-entrepreneur Josh Dorfman that’s worth a click. Here’s a quick bit, swing over to Green Options for the full read:
EcoGeek: What is a Lazy Environmentalist?
Josh Dorfman: Lazy Environmentalists are people who want to be environmentally conscious, and will be, provided the choices are convenient and fit the way they want to live. Deep inside there’s probably a lazy environmentalist in just about all of us. After all, we live in the culture of convenience. The expectation of convenience seems like it has become hardwired into our DNA
EG: What do you say to the “America Can’t Buy Its Way to Sustainability” argument?
JD: I’d say that I agree. But that doesn’t mean we ought to disregard all the really cool green solutions presently available to us to get us moving in a significantly greener direction. To really solve climate change and other serious environmental challenges, we’re going to need a joint and massive effort from business, government, non-profit organizations, and consumer-citizens. We are all responsible for our situation, and we all have a role to play in achieving solutions.
EG: What, if anything, scares your pants off?
JD: The mindset that still thinks Hummers and McMansions are a good idea. That and snakes.
