I worked in the environmental industry for 15 years and faced ethical issues several times. I often had to work with people with whom I shared one common goal --- a clean environment --- even though the rest of their agenda was horrific. "Family planning" NGOs and groups like Planned Parenthood seemed to essentially share boards of directors with environmental groups. If I had to work at an environmental meeting with, say, Jane from Bigshot Law Firm, our chit-chat would almost inevitably lead her to tell me that she was also on the board for one of the local abortion centers. Very troubling. Excellent post, Dan. I worked in the environmental industry for 15 years and faced ethical issues several times.

was a small pile of rocks,
with the one word “UNLESS”
Whatever that meant,
well, I just couldn’t guess.

“But now,” says the Once-ler,
“Now that you’re here,
the word of the Lorax seems perfectly clear
UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better.
It’s not.

from The Lorax by Dr. Seuss

Global warming!" like so many Chicken Littles. The whole issue may be nothing more than a common cycling of Earth temps, sun variations, or any of many other debunking ideas. But that doesn't change the fact that we are doing a poor job environmentally in some areas and can always do better. For that reason, I support any initiatives that will save energy and resources while reducing pollutants. That's just common sense, especially since many of us remember how bad things got in the Seventies. I don’t support those who are screaming “Global warming!
