While I can appreciate what you are trying to do in a certain sense, in another it is very disturbing. Yes, the Green movement is controlled by Leftist...entities of all kinds. But it is a mistake to try to say: "But we're Greens too." It's like Republicans who say "We're altruists too" in response to Democrats' demands for more spending by trying to have charity done through so-called "faith-based organizations" or Libertarian iFeminists who say "We're feminists too" in response to feminists' hatred of men by trying to have feminism without government favors. In both cases, I believe, we concede the principle to the enemy. In short, I think your heart is in the right place, and I enjoyed much of your site, but I think you are making the same mistakes as the aforementioned groups.
The editor repliesWow! iGreens bow to no-one in our moral defense of capitalism. However, people also care about consequences. It is important to explain to people that a capitalist world won't be an environmental desert with every tree gone. It'll be a good deal greener than the present one. In the same way it matters that charity will look after the poor probably better than the state, and women will get treated better without special state treatment. I hope making these cases is not conceding the arguments.
