Can't speak for your country but what you have there is not a green fundamentalist (as I know them) as they would be willing to jump all over wind versus nuclear (so would I). In fact I totally support the building of wind and solar farms.

As for cows; (I consider myself somewhat of a tree hugger) we can't do anything about them. The idea of being green (in my opinion) is to produce less of what we can produce less of. In other words, I don't want to make more trash, so I stop using things like paper towels and use rags instead that I can wash with hopefully a green powered washing machine and biodegradable detergents (Seventh Generation fan here). I also prefer electricity from a cleaner power source like wind and elect to get it there when I can. Thus I took slight offense to your use of the term "greenie". I now see how you are using it and that I am not.

It is sad to hear your frustrations, but you are not alone as I am right beside you as are others in your plight. I just didn't know how you were using the term, that is all. Sorry if I offended you.
