Free-market advocates have a hard time explaining that being anti-environmentalist is not the same as being anti-environment. Big Green has done such a thorough job of casting itself as nature’s selfless, altruistic guardian that supporters don’t even notice that their rants against “money-grubbing polluters” always end with “Send Money.”
Craig Rucker, executive director of the Washington-based Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, or CFACT, knows all about that. He is forever defending his nonprofit group’s motto — “Prospering Lives. Promoting Progress. Protecting the Earth.” — as being more than a clever application of alliteration.
