Esquire Magazine recently asked me to write an article about what Lazy Environmentalists can do to help expedite the oil cleanup in the Gulf of Mexico. After researching and reflecting upon the crisis, here’s an excerpt of what I wrote:
“No one enjoys this feeling of helplessness, especially someone like me whose mission is finding eco-friendly solutions. On my show, The Lazy Environmentalist, I have greened an exterminator with nontoxic bug-killers, and I have greened a Taekwondo champion with an organic diet that increased his stamina and decreased recovery time, but I cannot green the oil spill. And neither can you.”
“What we can do, though, is prevent the next oil spill by transforming our culture.” Read how
I welcome your feedback about this vital topic. Unless we transform our culture by fostering a more proactive environmental dialogue, we will remain stuck in place, bickering about solutions and armchair prophesying about the future.
Yet, the situation demands so much more of us, even those of us who are Lazy Environmentalists.
