one might ask: 'dont you think some of those suggestions are wise? i mean, i don't think it should be the burden of the members of society to take on environmental issues by curbing their behaviour, but when the powers that be dont give a shit...'

No, it doesn't matter if, taken baldly and individually, some of the suggestions could be seen as 'wise', what matters is the way in which they are presented and the pomposity with which these prickin' bro-foes seem to curtail any significant political consciousness or action with their small-town, smaller-minded bourgeois suggestoons. i rest my case.
