[FONT=VERDANA, HELVETICA]Some environmental groups continue to slight the environment when establishing exhibits to increase environmental awareness. The town council of Stoke-on-Trent, England, approved plans in July for a 21-foot-tall metal-sculpted tree to highlight the virtues of its public nature park, but first, 20 real trees would have to be cleared away, and then, to prevent injuries in the darkness, 38 powerful lights would illuminate the structure.

"we going to hold a concert in the rain forest to help support the conservation of this very rain forest, but first we need to make a stage. Lets clear out this portion here, & clear this portion to make the parking lot. Lets not forget the people need a place to watch. Clear out this whole area here for the people."

It's the classic "Do as we say, not as we do."

What's really sad is that there are some intelligent people who, because they agree with the message, can't see the utter hypocracy of many of the messengers.

What's even sadder than that is that people see the utter hypocrisy of many of the messengers and take that to mean that the message itself is invalid.

And that is evident to many things other than environmentalism. Evolution, religion, etc...

It's good to see that people are concerned.
