Tucker Carlson uncovers the cold heart of "Grey Poupon" Environmentalists
Jack Kemp
In reading sections of Tucker Carlson's new book "Ship of Fools: How a Selfish Ruling Class is Bringing America to the Brink of Revolution," I came across a section on how environmentalists have changed. They are now a lot more interested in funding than in truly cleaning up the land. I will quote a section or two below but first I must say that - not surprisingly - this mirrors a story I've written about at the Aviary before, about a young environmentalist who gave me his business card showing his organization's address as 30 Broad Street (directly across from the New York Stock Exchange).
On pages 220 and 221 of Carlson's book he states:

A few months after Obama's election, a friend of mine and I rented an office on Dupont Circle in Washington. We found the place on Craigslist. It was being sublet by an environmental group that was moving to new space in a more expensive part of town. One of the employees showed us around before we moved in. Two of the sinks in the office, he conceded, didn't really work. What's wrong with them? I asked.
With remarkable little embarrassment, he told me, "We repainted the inside of the office and then poured the paint down the sinks and it clogged them," he said.
You poured paint down a sink? Aren't you an environmental group? "Yeah," he said, "we shouldn't have done that."
END OF QUOTE
The "environmentalists" had received a big money grant to work on climate change, enabling them to move to their new location.

Ocean Beach is a narrow strip of national parkland along the western edge of San Francisco. In 2015, the National Park Service removed all trash cans from along the beach's seawall...
Very soon, the beach became filthy. Large piles of garbage collected along the seawall, some of it left by the city's vast homeless population.
END OF QUOTE
Despite complaints by San Franciscans, the trash cans cans were not replaced. But the agency's website boasted of their video series on "climate change in national parks
Basically what these "idealists" are saying that the rules only apply to the "little people," the "deplorables." They don't apply to the government or non-government agencies that appear to be nothing more than virtue signaling hypocrites.
