The one thing that can do the most damage to the mainstreaming of sustainable living into our collective consciousness is ecoterrorism. Ecoterrorist groups such as ELF (Earth Liberation Front) reinforce the misguided perception that people who are concerned about their environmental footprint are all extremist greenies who care more about animals and trees that people and progress.

While they are not THE most dangerous groups in the country (despite what some in government say), they galvanize opinion and should be required to do hard time in prison. By setting fire to a condo, ski resort or SUV, these idiots are doing physical harm to the very environment they supposedly love as well as the philosophy that supposedly guides there actions.

Considering that the environmental ramifications of your actions matter doesn't require radical changes to your lifestyle, and these villainous radicals should have known better.
