Environmentalists throw hissy fits about properly managing landfills and what goes in them as part of a whole campaign to take proper care of Mommy Earth so we don't "destroy" her.

Then you see all the trash people toss by the wayside (you should check out a Taco Bell parking lot at 8am to get a real glimpse how seriously people take the mission of taking care of Mommy Earth) and the severe damage homeless people do to the environment around them and note that there's nary a peep out of those same environmentalists and it becomes quite easy to yawn the next time the environmentalists throw a hissy fit.
