Investor’s Business Daily picks up on A New Thing: “Zero Impact”. This is even better than “Zero Population Growth” as an ongoing apology for humans infesting the planet:
The thinking, such as it is, holds that a pre-20th century lifestyle must be preferable to the eco-unfriendly ways of modern civilization. … young urbanites from San Francisco to New York who don’t shop, who strive to live without producing garbage, who consume food produced (organically, of course) by farmers within a day’s drive (not that they would drive) and who refuse a lift even to their high-rise lofts.
[NYT writer Penelope] Green writes about the setting diplomatically, first describing a praiseworthy dinner of natural ingredients. ‘A sour odor hovered oh-so-slightly in the air, the faint tang, not wholly unpleasant, that is the mark of a home composter.’ And then: ‘A visitor avoided the bathroom because she knew she would find no toilet paper there.’
