...It used to be about picking up trash and trying to make a difference on a personal or local level. Now "environmentalism" has been embraced by governments as a tool for, and justification for, more taxation and more social control. Back in my day (cackled in my best old geezer voice) it was the hippies who supported the environmental movement, while simultaneously distrusting the government and wanting "The Man" to stay out of their business. How things have changed... and not for the better.
Yeah, to the government environmental lip service. Must be trying to distract us from something else... Maybe they should stop wasting money, and paper, and fuel flying to all their meetings, and use some of the fortune they waste on hotels and entertainment on their trips, to pay for cleaning up a beach or planting some trees, or....
Lots of people still distrust them and want them to stay out of our business! Particularly in Canada these days.

I wish they lasted longer. Only a few days!
Sunsette and the crew would love to have some PTFCo merch. Probably a pretty niche market though. And I can't find a good printer of small canvases at a decent price.
