Environmentalist without a Support Structure

Imagine for a moment that you are an environmentalist. Imagine that you could do away with that horrible pollutant: plastic. Then image what your beachfront Malibu mansion would look like. Actually, that mansion would fall apart … in fact could not have been built.

Ann Coulter is a verbal bomb thrower, but she does get her point across:

They think they can live in a world of only Malibu and East Hampton — with no Trentons or Detroits. It does not occur to them that someone has to manufacture the tiles and steel and glass and solar panels that go into those "eco-friendly" mansions, and someone has to truck it all to their beachfront properties, and someone else has to transport all the workers there to build it. (And then someone has to drive the fleets of trucks delivering the pachysandra and bottled water every day.)
