The lack of celebration of the low levels of air pollution in New Zealand by Greenpeace, the Greens and environmentalists can only be explained by mass kidnapping. Otherwise they would be dancing in the streets. We pray for their early release from their outrageous captivity by mystery hostage-takers.

It is hard to imagine any merchant who harmed the environment as much as Henry David Thoreau…
We are a destructive species, and if you love nature, stay away from it. The best means of protecting the environment is to live in the heart of a city.
