Many people in Canada have that distinction. Believe it or not, you are an environmentalist. We are often too quick to label only those who are on the radical side of things as having a special interest. Just because you haven't painted your face, stomped around with a placard and got yourself arrested for the cause doesn't mean you can't be an environmentalist. Because you didn't contribute as much money to Revenue Canada as a large corporation, it doesn't make you any less of a taxpayer.
Environmentalism is everywhere.
Just recently in Gander there have been prime examples of the epitome of grassroots environmentalism. Lenny Moss, who is helping collect recyclables over at Gander Academy, is an environmentalist. The Town of Gander was recently honoured for its programs with one of the provincial government's environmental awards. If you've ever taken advantage of one of those services, such as the household hazardous waste collection day or called the Eco Team for advice, you're an environmentalist, too. It doesn't take much for most to do their part to help preserve the environment for future generations.
