Dr. Parick Moore, “The Sensible Environmentalist”--From his early days as the co-founder of Greenpeace , Patrick Moore has been unafraid to speak his mind. The sensible environmentalist campaign was born of frustration. What began in the 1970s as a politically-centered, science-based vision of environmentalism has been replaced with extremism and rhetoric. Science and logic have been abandoned and the environmental movement is often used to promote other causes such as inequality between the rich and poor and anti-corporatism. Many of Moore's ex-colleagues are now his critics. But, true to form, that in no way diminishes his commitment to share his knowledge and opinions, and to participate in the public dialogue on environmental issues.
