Enviros Try to Redefine Patriotism - Environmental Defense has been soliciting members and those on their email list to add their green thoughts to a definition of patriotism for
a "Declaration of Patriotism".
I think the comment period is over and now they are looking for "signers".
They started out with this:
We the undersigned, pledge to:
Be mindful consumers, by minimizing our personal global warming "footprint;"
Be active citizens, by pressing our elected officials to take urgent action now, and by pressing all candidates for office to commit to passing strong legislation to cut America’s global warming pollution;
Now they have it up to four bullet points
Spread the word, by making sure our friends, neighbors and loved ones recognize that each of us has a role to play in meeting this all-important challenge.
Be mindful consumers, by minimizing our personal global warming "footprint" and weighing our personal choices against the needs and rights of future generations.
(Hmm…. where have I heard that last statement before?)
Do we really need to redefine PATRIOTISM?
Could the enviros be feeling threatened by a grassroots revival of REAL patriotism?
