Or people buying CFL's and "greener" water bottles to save the planet. All these great little "green" steps people tote home proudly in a reusable bag, driving a shiny new 4x4 SUV or 2500HD the 40 minute drive to the 'burbs at 15mpg.
Grabbing the fringe benefits and leaving the low hanging fruit to rot away ...
