There's nothing wrong with caring about environment. Paid lobby did this, using environmentalism as an argument.

Don't you think that this discredits the environment movement in the eyes of at least a few "Uninterested"'s?Nothing's free in this world.

Environmentalism is a political topic. Get it off HN.

Peak virtue signaling by environmentalists/Biden. It makes no logical sense and net harms the environment.

no worries, labels like "environmentalist" don't matter nearly as much as intent and action.
