A Very Pragmatic Religion

People who criticize environmentalism like to say that it is a "religion." They think it's based on faith, a concept of doomsday, and that we believe that driving cars and building factories and polluting the sacred air and water is a "sin" for which we will eventually be punished.

That's funny, I thought I wanted clean air because I have this strange aversion to breathing poison. I didn't know that the air was so holy.
