Nonsense.
I consistently hold the position that we - ALL OF US -- can and should be less wasteful.
But when the same cast of characters comes out with their pontificating extremist message (usually involving social engineering by the force of government), I reject and oppose them. I always find it ridiculous and hypocritical for the same cast of characters who dictate what others should do (by force of law or high taxes) but are willing to change little themselves.
Moreover, I do not respect blind, baseless suggestions. I do respect full cost-benefit analyses and reasonable, well-thought out solutions, which, BTW, are usually "nuanced" and a mixed bag.
