Hybrid Homer

Just in case you haven’t read enough here about the mainstreaming environmental movement, we wanted to point out this article from the BBC’s series, “The Green Room” titled, “Welcoming Homer the Tree Hugger”.
In it Simpsons writer George Meyer laughs at his own hypocrisy while making a pretty funny argument for spreading the environmental movement saying, “For years, the environmental movement has enlisted the world's most selfless and enlightened souls. No more. We're broadening our sights; and by broadening, I mean lowering.”

Of course as long as Greens are seen as a group ranking somewhere between film school snobs and objectivists on the fun scale there will be limits to how much anyone wants to associate themselves with environmentalism.
