For Earth Day, 7 New Rules to Live By
By JOHN TIERNEY
On the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, is the middle-aged green movement ready to be revived by some iconoclastic young Turqs?
… Here are seven lessons for Turqs of all ages:
1. It’s the climate, stupid.
2. You can never not do just one thing.
3. “Let them eat organic” is not a global option.
5. “Green” energy hasn’t done much for greenery — or anything else.
6. “New Nukes” is the new “No Nukes.”
7. We are as gods and have to get good at it.
Pundits response:
Extremely refreshing article.
I mostly agree mostly with John Tierney, and think “You can never not do just one thing.” is brilliant.
The world is too complex to safely avoid only one perceived harm.
