Earth Day founder was into composting -- his ex-girlfriend!

The other day was Earth Day, the sacred day of environmentalists and anti-capitalists.

But Earth Day shouldn't slip by without a nod to the guy whose idea it was. And the editors at dollarsandcrosses.com remind us that Earth Day's founder, Ira Einhorn, was so deeply into recycling that he composted his ex-girlfriend. It's safe to assume that her participation in that environmental project was not voluntarily.

Somehow it actually does fit together. Environmentalists, for the most part, seem to yearn for a world without people, by which they mean other people.

I can't understand it either; wouldn't the ultimate act of eco-consciousness be for these people to off themselves?

I mean, they admit they're Bad for Mother Earth; set an example by removing yourself from the problem, Mr. Environmentalist!

Libertatis, good point.

Environmentalism is like a religion. And true believers probably somehow expect that they should be saved from the extinction they would want for the sinners.
