   Now what in heck is the eco nut movement?Do you mean the  broad   
   understanding that polluting the air water and soil is not good and   
   has to be curtailed.That is not so nutty now is it.Many groups of   
   people come together to stop pollution and extinctions and they   
   include gov't and NGOs.There is a thing called greenwashing and this   
   means that companies pretend that they are not polluting when they   
   continue to do so.They paint nice green trees on their trucks while   
   they clear cut the forests or throw a few pesos towards the   
   conservation movement like BP does.
